Since the number of adult tickets was twice the number of child tickets, make a "packet" of two adult tickets and 1 child ticket. The cost of each of those packets is
Now divide the total ticket sales by the cost of one of these packets, to find how many packets were sold:
31 of the packets were sold; that means 62 adult tickets and 31 child tickets.
Answer: 31 child tickets were sold.
