total tickets of 100%=460 tickets
the tickets sold for child 15% = x tickets
so we have to find the x tickets = 15/100*460 =69 tickets
69 tickets for children

Answer 2

Number of tickets sold to children are 69.

• On an average Saturday, 15% of the tickets sold are child tickets.

• The total number of tickets were 460.
• We have to find the number of tickets that were sold to children.
• 15% of 460 is the number of tickets that were sold to children.

$\frac{15}{100}$×460 = Number of tickets sold to children.

$\frac{15}{100}$×460 = Number of tickets sold to children.

69 = Number of tickets sold to children
