189 tickets were purchased on Saturday. The ratio of children's tickets to adult tickets is 8:1, indicating that 8 times as many children's tickets were sold compared to adult tickets. Let c represent the number of children's tickets and a the number of adult tickets. Therefore, 8a = a + 147. By subtracting a from both sides, we find 7a = 147. Upon dividing both sides by 7, we find a = 21 adult tickets. By multiplying the number of adult tickets by 8, we discover that 21 * 8 = 168 children's tickets. Adding these together gives a total of 168 + 21 = 189 tickets sold on Saturday.

Frank has X stamps and Chris has 8 more than 7 times the number of stamps Frank has. How many stamps do Frank and Chris have in
zzz [12365]
I think the right answer is D. 8x+8;
This is because Frank possesses X stamps while Chris has 8 plus 7 times the number of stamps Frank holds, making the total 8 + 7x (which is 7 times Frank's amount), so when you add Frank's stamps (x) to 8 + 7x, it results in 8 + 8x.
