Answer 1

£1,120

Explanation:

The computation of the total money earned is given below:

Given that

Ratio of children to adult be 2;3

There is 80 children

each adult cost is £8

And for children it is quarter of adult i.e £8 ÷ 4 = £2

For children there is an earning of

= 80 × £2

= £160

And, for adult it would be

but before that the number of adults be

Let us assume the number of adults be x

`(2)/(3) = (80)/(x)`

After cross multiplication, the number of adult be 120

So the adult earning be

= 120 × £8

= £960

So, the total money made would be

= £960 + £160

= £1,120
