Solution

To solve this problem, we need to set up a system of equations based on the information given in the problem.

Let's denote: A = the number of adult tickets sold C = the number of child tickets sold

From the problem, we know that:

  1. C = 4A (The number of child tickets sold was 4 times the number of adult tickets sold)

We also know that the total amount collected from the sale of all tickets was 6000.Letsassumethepriceofanadultticketis6000. Let's assume the price of an adult ticket is x and the price of a child ticket is $y. Then we have:

  1. Ax + Cy = $6000

However, we don't know the prices of the tickets, so we can't solve this system directly. We need more information about the prices of the tickets to solve the problem.
