To determine the total number of tickets sold for the ghost train attraction, we first need to understand what the question implies about the ticket sales on Tuesday, when 30% more children bought tickets compared to another day.

Let’s assume that on the baseline day (let's say Monday), the number of children's tickets sold was X. According to the given information, on Tuesday the number of children's tickets sold increases by 30%. This means that on Tuesday the total ticket sales would be expressed as:

Children's tickets sold on Tuesday = X + 0.30X = 1.30X

The total number of tickets sold will thus depend on this value. If we then factor in any other variables such as the number of adult tickets sold or any fixed number of tickets sold on another day, those would need to be added to this result to reach the final total.

The answer choice D, which suggests 115 tickets sold in total, indicates that the addition of Tuesday's increased sales along with any other ticket sales (perhaps from Monday or from adult tickets) culminate to reach this total. This suggests a considerable baseline of ticket sales on other days or a substantial increase on Tuesday that results in the total reaching 115.
