The question seems incomplete ; as the total number of tickets to be sold isn't given.

Answer:

61 / X

Explanation:

Let's take the total Number of tickets to be sold as : X

Number of tickets sold on Thursday = 47

Number sold on Friday = 14

Fraction of tickets available for sale on Saturday :

(Total number of tickets already sold) / Total number of tickets to be sold

(Thursday + Friday sales) / total number of tickets to be sold

Fraction available for sale on Saturday = (47+14) / X

Fraction available for sale on Saturday = 61 / X

Kindly put value of x = total number of tickets available for sale to get the exact fraction.
