Kind Note:

I did not provide a picture. Instead, I provided explanation for your answer. If you really want a picture for your answer, I will provide it for you.

Explanation:

We know that:

  • A = 2C - 5
  • A = 95

Work:

  • A = 2C - 5
  • => 95 = 2C - 5
  • => 100 = 2C
  • => C = 50

Answer:

  • Children tickets = 50
