Answer:

Total amount of tickets is 48

Explanation:

Step 1: Determine the amount of tickets they solid in all

We see that the movie theater has a ratio of 4 adult tickets for every children ticket which means that wen a child purchases a ticket there are 2 adult tickets that come along.

32 adult tickets / (2 adult tickets per child)

16 children tickets

Total tickets: 32 adult tickets + 16 children tickets = 48 tickets

Answer: Total amount of tickets is 48
