Answer 1

Hi there!
Here's the answer:

•°•°•°•°•°•<><><<><>><><>°•°•°•°•°•°

Given,
Total No. of Tickets = 400
No. of Tickets sold to senior citizens = 144

Remaining Tickets
= Total No. of tickets - No of Tickets sold to senior citizens
= 400 - 144
= 256

•°• No. of Tickets sold to Rest = 256



Now,
¶ Percentage of tickets sold to senior citizens
= [( No. of Tickets sold to senior citizens / Total No. of tickets )] × 100
= [ (144/400) × 100] %
= 36%

•°• 36% of total tickets sold to senior citizens

•°•°•°•°•°•<><><<><>><><>°•°•°•°•°•°


¶ Percentage of tickets sold to the rest
= [( No. of Tickets sold to the rest / Total No. of tickets )] × 100
= [ (256/4) × 100] %
= 64%

……………………(or)

¶ Percentage of Tickets sold to senior citizens + Percentage of tickets sold to the rest = 100%

Let percentage of tickets sold to the rest be x%

=> 36% + x% = 100%
=> x% = (100 - 36)%
=> x% = 64 %

•°• 64% of total tickets were sold to the rest.
