    Answer:

    Adult tickets = $60

    Children tickets = $123

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x represent the adult tickets sold

    Let y represent the children tickets sold

    x + y = 183……equation 1

    5x + 2y= 546……..equation 2

    Multiply equation 1 by 5 and equation 2 by 1

    5x + 5y = 915

    –

    5x + 2y= 546

    3y = 369

    y= 369/3

    y= 123

    Substitute 123 for y in equation 1

    x + 123= 183

    x= 183-123

    x= 60

    Hence the price of adult tickets sold is $60 and the price of children tickets sold is $123
