Thanks!

This is a question of ratio, so I'll go with it the easy way, without including variables.

The ratio of tickets sold by Tom:Jeremy = 8:1

The total 'parts' is 8+1 = 9.

So, Tom sold 8/9 of the total tickets, and Jeremy sold 1/9 of the total tickets.

Can you solve it now?

Post back your answer.
