its simple.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you have? @cp9454

OpenStudy (cp9454):

let x tickets sold were of adults, then (1024-x) were of childrens

OpenStudy (cp9454):

now, 9x+(1024-x)4 = 7680 above equation is for total money

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so division comes into play to get the number of adult tickets

OpenStudy (cp9454):

solve it you will get x=720

OpenStudy (cp9454):

hence,no of adult tickets were 720 and no. of child tickets were 300
