Answer:

56 adult tickets were sold that day

Explanation:

let a represent number of adult tickets sold and c number of child tickets sold , then

a + c = 122 → (1)

9.1a + 5.7c = 885.8 → (2)

from (1) subtract c from both sides

c = 122 - a

substitute c = 122 - a into (2)

9.1a + 5.7(122 - a) = 885.8

9.1a + 695.4 - 5.7a = 885.8

3.4a + 695.4 = 885.8 ( subtract 695.4 from both sides )

3.4a = 190.4 ( divide both sides by 3.4 )

a = 56

that is 56 adult tickets were sold that day.
