\(30=\frac{x}{100}*35=85.71\) which is approximately E


Thank you. I thought maybe one would have to take into account the team revenue for team X. But in hindsight, it would have canceled out anyways.

We don't have to use actual numbers here, just a proportion.

Since merchandise accounted for 20% of venue revenues, and ticket sales 10%, together they comprise 30% of venue revenues.

Food sales comprises 35% of venue revenues,

30 is \(\frac{30}{35} \approx 0.857 \approx\) 86% of 35. So, merchandise and ticket sales are about 86% of the food sales.
