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 20
=
50100 x 20
= $10
Total sales of tickets
= 60 u + 20 u
= 80 u
80 u = 6160
1 u = 6160 ÷ 80 = 77
Number of tickets sold that were for adults
= 3 u
= 3 x 77
= 231
