Answer:
Maria sold 56.5% of the total quantity of tickets sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that between Maria and Sarah they both sold 161 tickets (91 + 70), and that of those 161 Maria sold 91 while Sarah sold 70, to determine the percentage of tickets that Maria sold over the total amount, the following crossed multiplication must be performed:
161 = 100
91 = X
((91 x 100) / 161) = X
9,100 / 161 = X
56.5 = X
Therefore, Maria sold 56.5% of the tickets sold.
