30% =
30100 =
310Price 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
= 196 u + 63 u
= 259 u
259 u = 14245
1 u = 14245 ÷ 259 = 55
Number of tickets sold that were for children
= 3 u
= 3 x 55
= 165
Answer(s): 165
