Answer:

75 total tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

METHOD 1:

We know that 45 children's tickets have been sold, being 60% of the total tickets having been sold.

So, basically, we solve for x:

We have, 60% × x = 45

or, 60/100 × x = 45

Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 60,

we have x = 45 × 100/60

x = 75

If using calculator, enter 45x100/60, which will give you the answer.

------------------------

METHOD 2:

Division is the opposite of multiplication

Start with the formula to calculate the percentage of total

y=value÷ percentage/100

Substitute values in the equation

y=45÷60/100

Simplify and solve

y=45÷0.6

y=75

Both methods give you 75, therefore 75 tickets have been sold
So your supposed to do 1.50/1 x 60% which is 90
