25Price of each adult ticket in percent = 100%
Price of each child ticket in percent
= 100% - 20%
= 80%
Price of each child ticket
= 80% x 40
=
80100 x 40
= $32
Total sales of tickets
= 120 u + 64 u
= 184 u
184 u = 13616
1 u = 13616 ÷ 184 = 74
Number of tickets sold that were for adults
= 3 u
= 3 x 74
= 222
