Final answer:

Without specific data relating to ticket sales, it's impossible to determine the number of child tickets sold that day; more context or numerical data is needed to solve this mathematical problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question "How many child tickets were sold that day?" pertains to the subject of mathematics, specifically to statistics or problem-solving involving numerical data. Since there is no specific numeric data provided to directly answer this question, we cannot accurately determine the number of child tickets sold. If more context or data were available, we could approach this mathematically, tallying ticket sales across the relevant age categories - for instance, children ages 2.5 to 6 or 6 to 13 - and summing these figures to find the total number of child tickets sold. However, without clear numeric information linked to ticket sales on a specific day, we can only suggest methods to find the answer rather than providing the answer itself.

\huge\boxed{\fcolorbox{black}{red}{Answer}}

first let's name a couples of variable

• the number of adults tickets sold: a

• the number of children tickets sold: c

From the problem we know

a + c = 128

and

$5.40c + $9.20a = $976.20

1) solve the equation to alpha

a+c-c = 128 -c

a+0=128-c

a=128-c

2) substitute (128 - c) for a in the second equation and solve to c

$5.40c + $9.20a = $976.20 become

$5.40c + $9.20(128 - c) = $976.20

$5.40c + ($9.20 × 128) - ($9.20 - c) = $976.20

$5.40c - $9.20c + $ 1177.6 = $976.20

($5.40 - $9.20)c +$1177.6 = $976.20

-$3.80c + $1177.6 = $9.76.20

-$3.80c + $1177.60 - $1177.60 = $976.20 - $1177.60

-$8.30c + 0 = $201.40

-$3.80c = - $201.40

-$3.80c. -$201.40

________. = _________

-$3.80. -$3.80

-$3.80c. -$201.40

________. = _________. - they are 4 cut the no

-$3.80. -$3.80

c = $201.40

________

3.80

c = 53
