Explanation:

Step1: Calculate number of adult tickets

The percentage of adult tickets is \(26\%\). The total number of tickets sold is \(900\). So the number of adult tickets is \(900\times0.26 = 234\).

Step2: Calculate number of student tickets

The percentage of student tickets is \(53\%\). So the number of student tickets is \(900\times0.53=477\).

Step3: Calculate number of senior tickets

The percentage of senior tickets is \(17\%\). So the number of senior tickets is \(900\times0.17 = 153\).

Step4: Calculate number of children - under 12 tickets

The percentage of children - under 12 tickets is \(4\%\). So the number of children - under 12 tickets is \(900\times0.04=36\).

Answer:

Adult tickets: 234
Student tickets: 477
Senior tickets: 153
Tickets for children under 12: 36
