15Price of each adult ticket in percent = 100%
Price of each child ticket in percent
= 100% - 10%
= 90%
Price of each child ticket
= 90% x 40
=
90100 x 40
= $36
Total sales of tickets
= 160 u + 36 u
= 196 u
196 u = 19208
1 u = 19208 ÷ 196 = 98
Number of tickets sold that were for children
= 1 u
= 1 x 98
= 98
Answer(s): 98
