Answer:

In second night he sold higher ratio of senior tickets to adult tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

For first night  the ratio of senior tickets to adult tickets sold is 23 : 78

For second night the ratio of senior tickets to adult tickets sold is 20 : 43

For first night  the ratio of senior tickets to adult tickets sold is = [tex]\frac{23}{78}[/tex] = 0.29

For second night the ratio of senior tickets to adult tickets sold is = [tex]\frac{20}{43}[/tex] = 0.46

Thus the ratio for second night  is higher than first night . thus individual sold a higher ratio of tickets in second night than the first night.

Answer:

The individual sell a higher ratio of Senior tickets to Adult tickets in second night.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that for first night the individual sold 23 Senior tickets and 78 Adult tickets. And for the second night the individual sold 20 Senior tickets and 43 Adult tickets.

So, ratio of senior tickets to adult tickets sold in first night = [tex]\frac{23}{78}[/tex] = 0.295

And ratio of senior tickets to adult tickets sold in second night = [tex]\frac{20}{43}[/tex] = 0.465

Therefore, it is clear that the ratio of senior tickets to adult tickets sold in second night is higher than the ratio of senior tickets to adult tickets sold in first night.
