The cost of 244 children's tickets would be 244($1.50) = $366; the actual total was $666.
The difference between the actual total and the all-children total is $300.
Each adult ticket costs $4-$1.50 = $2.50 more than each children's ticket.
Divide the $300 by $2.50 to find the number of adult tickets that were sold.
Subtract the number of adult tickets from the total of 244 to find how many children's tickets were sold.
