Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of children: Adult = 2/3
No. of children = 80
Cost of one adult tickets = £8
The cost of 1 child ticket is = £8/4
= £2
Total money made from ticket sale through children
= £2 X 80
= £160
Let the no. of adult be
2x / 3x = 80/x
240x = 2x2
2x ( x-120 ) = 0
either 2x = 0 or x = 120
Total adult = 120
Total money made from ticket sale through adult
= 120 X £8
= £960
Total money made from ticket sales
= £960 + £160
= £1120
