65% of the tickets sold at a water park were child tickets. If the park sold 100 tickets in all, how many child tickets did it sell?

1 answer

To find the number of child tickets sold at the water park, you can calculate 65% of the total number of tickets sold, which is 100.

First, convert the percentage to a decimal:

\[ 65% = 0.65 \]

Now, multiply the total number of tickets by this decimal:

\[ 0.65 \times 100 = 65 \]

Thus, the park sold 65 child tickets.
