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 38
=
50100 x 38
= $19
Total sales of tickets
= 114 u + 38 u
= 152 u
152 u = 12464
1 u = 12464 ÷ 152 = 82
Number of tickets sold that were for children
= 2 u
= 2 x 82
= 164
