Hi  
$8.00 for children,  $12.00 for adult
244 people, $2512 in admissions collected
Let x represent number of Adults attending:
12x + 8(244-x) = 2512
            x = (2512- 1952)/4 = 145 Adult attending, 
                                  99 Children attending  244-145%29
Wish You the Best in your Studies.
