Solution

First, let's add up the total number of tickets Erin needs for all the rides.

The Ferris wheel costs 6 tickets, the roller coaster costs 3 tickets, and the log ride costs 7 tickets.

So, 6 (Ferris wheel) + 3 (roller coaster) + 7 (log ride) = 16 tickets in total.

Erin currently has 8 tickets.

To find out how many more tickets Erin needs, we subtract the number of tickets she has from the total number of tickets she needs.

So, 16 (total tickets needed) - 8 (tickets Erin has) = 8 tickets.

Therefore, Erin needs to buy 8 more tickets.
