Let the price of ticket for adult be = X
and price of ticket for children be = Y
\(QTYA = 120X + 100Y\)
\(QTYB = 150(0.8X) + 120(0.8Y) = 120X + 96Y\)( 0.8 is multiplied because on Sunday 20% discount on all tickets)
Therefore QTYA > QTY B

This sentence is confusing: On Sunday afternoons, all tickets are sold at a discount of 20%.
20% on what? How do I know that it´s 20% discount on Adult price and Child price?
Therefore, there should be ".... at a discount of 20% on original prices"
20% on what? How do I know that it´s 20% discount on Adult price and Child price?
