Answer:

93 adult tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'a' represent the number of adult tickets sold. Then total revenue was ...

9.60a +5.80(167 -a) = 1322

3.80a = 353.40 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 968.60, collect terms

a = 93 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3.8

93 adult tickets were sold that day.
