To find the number of child tickets sold, we can calculate 21% of the total tickets sold, which is 500.
We can use the formula for percentage:
\[
\text{Number of child tickets} = \text{Total tickets} \times \frac{\text{Percentage of child tickets}}{100}
\]
Plugging in the values:
\[
\text{Number of child tickets} = 500 \times \frac{21}{100}
\]
Calculating this:
\[
\text{Number of child tickets} = 500 \times 0.21 = 105
\]
Therefore, the park sold **105 child tickets**.
