Big Picture
What this problem is really about
The phrase thirty-five percent of eighty tickets has a standard structure: convert the percent to a decimal and replace of with multiplication. We’ll build that expression, evaluate it, and preserve tickets as the unit of the resulting part. Splitting thirty-five percent into thirty percent and five percent checks both the operation and the product.
