4*0.3*x = 252

this is the price of a ticket (4) multiplied by the percentage of tickets (0.3 = 30%), multiplied by the total number of tickets sold (x)

find x.

I don't understand why you are given the price of an adult ticket, you don't need it unless you have stated the question wrongly or i have interpreted it wrongly.
