You can put this solution on YOUR website! x is how many junior tickets
y is how many adult tickets
Account for number of tickets and account for the amount of money taken in through tickets sales. Two linear equations for a system

-----------
Quantity Eq:: a + j = 360 tickets
Value Eq:: 5199a + 2699j = 1559140 cents
---------------------
5199a + 5199j = 5199*360
5199a + 2699j = 1559140
-------------------------------
Subtract and solve for "j"::
2500j = 312500
# of junior tickets = 125
Cheers,

Let number of adult tickets sold, be A
Since 360 tickets were sold, number of junior tickets sold = 360 - A
We then get the following RECEIPTS equation:
51.99A + 26.99(360 - A) = 15,591.4
51.99A + 9,716.4 - 26.99A = 15,591.4
51.99A - 26.99A = 15,591.4 - 9,716.4
25A = 5,875
A, or number of adult tickets sold =  , or 
Number of junior tickets sold: 360 - 235, or
