To find how many child tickets were sold on Tuesday you must first call:

X= number of child tickets

Y= number of adult tickets

Then you can propose the following equation:

Also, adult tickets sold were double of child tickets so


Y=2\cdot X

Replacing in the equation:


\begin{gathered} X\cdot5.90\text{ + (2}\cdot X)\cdot9.90\text{ = 745.30} \\ X\cdot5.90\text{ + 19.80 }\cdot X\text{ = 745.30} \\ 25.70\cdot X\text{ = 745.30} \\ X=29 \\ Y=58 \end{gathered}

So the child tickets sold that day were 29 tickets.
