    We are given that

    child admission is $5.20 and

    adult admission is $9.60.

    Now let us say there were x children and y adults.

    On Monday, 155 tickets were sold,

    so x+y=155 ... (1)

    Total sales were of $1070.00

    so 5.20x + 9.60y = 1070 ... (2)

    substituting value of x=155-y from equation (1) in equation (2), we get

    5.20 (155-y) + 9.60y=1070

    806-5.20y+9.60y=1070

    4.4y=264

    y=60

    Answer: 60 adult tickets were sold that day
