An amusement park sells child and adult ticket at a ratio of 8:1. O. Sat. They sold. 147 more child tickets than adults. How many tickets did the amusement park sell sat

Ratio of child ticket and adult ticket is 8:1.

So we can let number of children tickets sold in Saturday = 8x

Number of adult tickets sold in Saturday = 1x = x

As given difference between child ticket and adult ticket in saturday = 147.

So 8x - x = 147

7x = 147

On dividing both sides by 7.

x = 21

So number of children tickets sold in Saturday = 8*21 = 168

Number of Adults ticket sold in Saturday = 1*21 = 21

So total number of ticket sold in Saturday = 168 + 21 = 189.
