    189 tickets sold on Saturday.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Your ratio of 8:1 is children's tickets to adult tickets.

    There are 8 times as many children tickets sold as adult tickets.

    Let c = # children's tickets

    Let a = # adult tickets

    8a = a + 147

    subtract a from both sides

    7a = 147

    divide on both sides by 7

    a = 147/7

    find number of adult tickets

    a = 21 adult tickets

    multiply the number of adult tickets by 8 to find children's tickets 21*8=168

    168+21=189 tickets sold on Saturday.
