    95 child tickets

    Step-by-step explanation:

    a+c = 153 c = (153-a) you need to plug this for c

    9.6a + 5.6 (153-a) = 1088.8

    9.6a + 856.8 - 5.6a = 1088.8

    4a + 856.8 = 1088.8

    subtract 856.8 on both sides

    4a = 232

    a=58 (58 adults)

    153 - 58 = 95 (95 children)

    95*$ 5.6 = $532

    85 * $ 9.6 = $ 556.8

    $532 + $556.8 = $ 1088.8
