Answer

94 adult tickets were sold.

215 children tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation

Let the number of adult tickets sold be x

Let the number of children tickets sold be y

On the first day, 309 tickets in total wer sold

x + y = 309

And a total of 2203 dollars was made

12x + 5y = 2203

Bringing the two equations together and solving simultaneously

x + y = 309

12x + 5y = 2203

x = 94

y = 215

Hope this Helps!!!
