The total number of adults tickets sold and children tickets sold is 120 adult tickets and 30 children's tickets

Given:

Cost of adult tickets = $12

Cost of children tickets = $4

let

number of children tickets sold = x

number of adult tickets = 4x

Total cost of tickets = 1560

The equation:

1560 = 12(4x) + 4(x)

1560 = 48x + 4x

1560 = 52x

divide both sides by 52

x= 1560/52

x = 30

Therefore,

number of children tickets sold = x

= 30 tickets

number of adult tickets = 4x

= 4(30)

= 120 tickets
