A theater is selling movie tickets. The first night, 19 Senior tickets and 57 Adult tickets were sold. The second night, 20 Senior tickets and 62 Adult tickets were sold. On which night did the theater sell a higher ratio of Senior tickets to Adult tickets

The theater sold a higher ratio of Senior tickets to Adult tickets on the first night.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of senior tickets to adult tickets:

Can also be interpreted as the percentage of senior tickets, out of the number of total tickets, which is the number of senior tickets multiplied by 100% and divided by the number of total tickets.

The first night, 19 Senior tickets and 57 Adult tickets were sold.

19 out of 19 + 57 = 76. So

19*100%/76 = 25%

The second night, 20 Senior tickets and 62 Adult tickets were sold.

20 out of 20 + 62 = 82. So

20*100%/82 = 24.39%

25% > 24.39%, so the theater sold a higher ratio of Senior tickets to Adult tickets on the first night.
