10% =
10100 =
110Price of each adult ticket in percent = 100%
Price of each child ticket in percent
= 100% - 25%
= 75%
Price of each child ticket
= 75% x 28
=
75100 x 28
= $21
Total sales of tickets
= 252 u + 21 u
= 273 u
273 u = 16653
1 u = 16653 ÷ 273 = 61
Number of tickets sold that were for children
= 1 u
= 1 x 61
= 61
Answer(s): 61
