Answer:

£1,120

Step-by-step 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

[tex]\frac{2}{3} = \frac{80}{x}[/tex]

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
