The ratio between the child tickets to adult tickets is 8 : 1
The child tickets are more by 147
Let us use the ratio method to solve the question
Child : Adult : difference
8 : 1 : 7 (8 - 1)
x : y : 147
By using cross multiplication
[tex]\begin{gathered} x\times7=8\times147 \\ 7x=1176 \end{gathered}[/tex]Divide both sides by 7 to find x
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{7x}{7}=\frac{1176}{7} \\ x=168 \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} y\times7=1\times147 \\ 7y=147 \end{gathered}[/tex]Divide both sides by 7 to find y
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{7y}{7}=\frac{147}{7} \\ y=21 \end{gathered}[/tex]The total number of tickets = 168 + 21 = 189
The total number of tickets is 189
