Answer:

The number of adult tickets are 57.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total number of tickets = 156

Total money = $1077.60

Solution,

Let the number of adult be x and of child be y .

So, Total number of tickets = Number of adults + Number of child

\therefore x+y = 156\ \ \ \ \ \ equation\ 1

Now, according to question;

Total money = Number\ of\ adults\times admission\ fee + Number\ of\ child\times admission\ fee

\therefore x\times 9.70+y\times 5.30 = 1077.60\ \ \ \ \ \ equation\ 2

On multiplying by 10 on both side, we get;

97x+53y=10776\ \ \ \ \ \ equation\ 3

Now multiplying equation 1 by 53 then subtract it from equation 3, we get;

(x+y)\times53 = 156\times53\\53x+53y=8268\\(97x+53y=10776)-(53x+53y=8268)\\44x=2508\\x=\frac{2508}{44} =57

Since x is the  number of adults,

Number of adults=57

Number of child = y = 156-57=99

Thus the number of adult tickets are 57.
