Tickets to the school musical cost $6.25. The amount received from ticket sales is $706.25. How many tickets were sold?

Step-by-step explanation:

if we received 706.25 dollars and a ticket is 6.25

706.25/6.25=113 tickets sold

75 tickets have been sold so far.

step-by-step explanation:

in this question it is clearly mentioned that 45 children's tickets have been sold and this number is 60% of the total tickets sold.

now let's assume the total number of tickets sold be x.

then 60% of x = 45

⇒

⇒ x(.6) = 45

by dividing with .6 on both the sides of the equation

⇒ x = 75

therefore 75 tickets have been sold so far.
