tickets sold

250 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

This week, the tickets sold was 300.

The # of tickets sold this week was 120% of last weeks ticket sales.

To find out the number of tickets sold last week, first convert 120% into a decimal.

120% = 1.2

Now, divide 300 [tickets sold this week] by 1.2.

If you do this, you get 250.

That means 250 tickets were sold last week.

To double check our answer, break down 120% again, but this time, differently.

100% + 20% = 120%

100% = 1

20% = 0.2

Now, multiply 250 by 1.

250 x 1 = 250.

Now multiply 250 by 0.2

250 x 0.2 = 50.

250 + 50 = 300

So, the amount of tickets sold last week is 250. I hope this helps! :)
