Given

A ticket for a child costs $28.
The total collection from the sale is $23004.
If the sale of a child's ticket was $24 (does not make sense to me)

If you are showing the problem in your own words, then look at what you have written and rewrite it so that it makes sense.
If you are showing the problem exactly as it was given to you, then we can't help you.
The way the problem is presented, we don't know whether the cost of each child's ticket is $28 or $24. And regardless of which it is, there is not enough information to find a single solution.
Fix the statement of the problem and re-post....

I'll make up a problem similar to yours which can be solved:
A ticket for an adult costs $40 . A ticket for a child costs $28. The total
collection from the sale is $23004. If the price of a child's ticket had cost
only $24, the total collection would have been $20952. how many adult and
children tickets were sold.
Let A = the number of adult tickets were sold
Let C = the number of adult tickets were sold
40A + 28C = 23004
40A + 24C = 20952
Subtracting the two equations gives
4C = 2052
C = 513
Substituting in the second equation
40A + 24(513) = 20952
40A + 12312 = 20952
40A = 8640
A = 216
216 adult tickets were sold. 513 child tickets were sold.
