310Price of each adult ticket in percent = 100%
Price of each child ticket in percent
= 100% - 10%
= 90%
Price of each child ticket
= 90% x 20
=
90100 x 20
= $18
Total sales of tickets
= 140 u + 54 u
= 194 u
194 u = 15326
1 u = 15326 ÷ 194 = 79
Number of tickets sold that were for children
= 3 u
= 3 x 79
= 237
