Solution

First, let's add up the total number of tickets Tristan needs for all the rides. The Ferris wheel costs 4 tickets, the roller coaster costs 6 tickets, and the log ride costs 6 tickets.

So, 4 (Ferris wheel) + 6 (roller coaster) + 6 (log ride) = 16 tickets in total.

Tristan currently has 7 tickets.

To find out how many more tickets Tristan needs, we subtract the number of tickets he has from the total number of tickets needed.

So, 16 (total tickets needed) - 7 (tickets Tristan has) = 9 tickets.

Therefore, Tristan should buy 9 more tickets.
