25Price of each adult ticket in percent = 100%
Price of each child ticket in percent
= 100% - 30%
= 70%
Price of each child ticket
= 70% x 30
=
70100 x 30
= $21
Total sales of tickets
= 90 u + 42 u
= 132 u
132 u = 11088
1 u = 11088 ÷ 132 = 84
Number of tickets sold that were for adults
= 3 u
= 3 x 84
= 252
