You can put this solution on YOUR website!
a = price for adult
c = price for child

Opening Screening: 40a+26c=486.70
Next Show: 20a+31c=332.45

Handle that system any way you want. Easiest might be multiply the Next Show by 2, subtract the Opening Screening from this. You would have an equation just in c, and can solve for c.
