Question

A book store is hosting a special night in which families can enjoy a story and craft time. Tickets to the event must be bought ahead of time and are $1.50 for children and $2.50 for adults. So far, 45 children's tickets have been sold, which is 60% of the total tickets sold. How many tickets have been sold so far? Show or explain how you got your answer.

Answer 1

Lets suppose total number of tickets=X

so, 45= 60/100× X

X = 75

so total number of tickets are 75 therefore 75-67.5= 7 tickets have been sold.
