A theatre group has been working hard preparing for their Christmas show and drumming up ticket sales!
The group have sold 4830 tickets.
This is 15% more than they sold for their Christmas show last year.
How many tickets did they sell last year?
Answer:
Since 4830 is 115% of the number of tickets sold last year divide this amount by 115 to find 1%
4830 / 115 = 42
Multiply this amount by 100 to find 100% = 4200 tickets sold last year.
