310Price of each adult ticket in percent = 100%
Price of each child ticket in percent
= 100% - 50%
= 50%
Price of each child ticket
= 50% x 40
=
50100 x 40
= $20
Total sales of tickets
= 280 u + 60 u
= 340 u
340 u = 29580
1 u = 29580 ÷ 340 = 87
Number of tickets sold that were for children
= 3 u
= 3 x 87
= 261
Answer(s): 261
