Let b>a, 

a+b=40 so we can say a=40-b

We are told that b-a=6.5, using a found above in the equation gives us:

b-(40-b)=6.5

b-40+b=6.5

2b-40=6.5

2b=46.5

b=23.25, and since  a=40-b

a=40-23.25

a=16.75

So a=16.75 and b=23.25

check...

16.75+23.25=40, 40=40

23.25-16.75=6.5, 6.5=6.5

60 children tickets and 190 adult tickets were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. of adult tickets sold be 'a'

Let the no. of children tickets sold be 'c'

Total tickets sold = 250

Cost of 1 children ticket = $2.5

Cost of 1 adult ticket = $4

Total money collected= $910

Given that,
a + c = 250
a = 250 - c
4a + 2.5c = 910

Substitute a value
4(250 - c) + 2.5c = 910
1000 - 4c + 2.5c = 910
1000 - 1.5c = 910
-1. 5c = -90
1.5c = 90
c = 90/1.5
c = 60
a + c = 250
a + 60 = 250
a = 190
