Question

The ration of child to teen to adult tickets sold at a water park on Saturday was 4:1:2. A total of 294 tickets were sold. How many child tickets were sold?

Answer 1

Answer: 168 child tickets were sold.

Explanation:

Given: The ratio of child to teen to adult tickets sold at a water park on Saturday was 4:1:2.

Let the number of child tickets = 4x , teen tickets = x , adult tickets = 2x

Total tickets = x+4x+2x = 7x =294

`\Rightarrow\ x=(294)/(7)\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=42`

Number of child tickets = 4(42) = 168

Hence, 168 child tickets were sold.
