Answer by psbhowmick(878) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Suppose the no. of tickets sold for children is x and that for adults is y.

The total cost of the tickets is therefore: $(5x+12y).
This amount is equal to $163.
5x+12y=163

To solve completely you need to tell total how many tickets were sold.
