Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Let the number of children's tickets sold be x. Then, the number of adult tickets sold is x + 80. The total number of tickets sold is x + (x + 80) = 1134. Solving this equation, 2x + 80 = 1134, we get 2x = 1054, and x = 527. Therefore, the number of adult tickets sold is 527 + 80 = 607.
