25Price of each adult ticket in percent = 100%
Price of each child ticket in percent
= 100% - 50%
= 50%
Price of each child ticket
= 50% x 40
=
50100 x 40
= $20
Total sales of tickets
= 120 u + 40 u
= 160 u
160 u = 11360
1 u = 11360 ÷ 160 = 71
Number of tickets sold that were for adults
= 3 u
= 3 x 71
= 213
