    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

    60 children tickets and 190 adult tickets were sold.
