D Correct answer
Explanation

For every 1 student ticket (cost 5), there are 3 adult tickets (cost 8). Total cost for 4 tickets is 5 + (3 * 8) = 29. Average income per ticket = 29 / 4 = 7.25.

AI explanation

Using a ratio value of 1, assume 1 student ticket and 3 adult tickets were sold. The total income is (1 multiplied by 5) plus (3 multiplied by 8), which equals 29. The average income per ticket is the total income of 29 divided by 4 total tickets, giving $7.25.
