10% =
10100 =
110Price of each adult ticket in percent = 100%
Price of each child ticket in percent
= 100% - 20%
= 80%
Price of each child ticket
= 80% x 40
=
80100 x 40
= $32
Total sales of tickets
= 360 u + 32 u
= 392 u
392 u = 24304
1 u = 24304 ÷ 392 = 62
Number of tickets sold that were for children
= 1 u
= 1 x 62
= 62
Answer(s): 62
