Answer:

31

Step-by-step explanation:

For every 4 adult tickets sold, only 1 child ticket was sold.  So the cost of 4 adult tickets and 1 child ticket is:

4 x 9.9 + 1 x 6.2 = 45.80

Divide the total sales by 45.80:  1419.80 ÷ 45.80 = 31

So there were 31 lots of "4 adult tickets and 1 child ticket" sold.

Therefore, there were 31 x 4 = 124 adult tickets sold

                              and  31 x 1 = 31 child tickets sold
