310Price of each adult ticket in percent = 100%
Price of each child ticket in percent
= 100% - 50%
= 50%
Price of each child ticket
= 50% x 10
=
50100 x 10
= $5
Total sales of tickets
= 70 u + 15 u
= 85 u
85 u = 5610
1 u = 5610 ÷ 85 = 66
Number of tickets sold that were for children
= 3 u
= 3 x 66
= 198
Answer(s): 198
