    Given:

    1. Children ticket = $11, Adult ticket = $16

    2. Total tickets sold = 150

    3. Total revenue = $2250

    -

    Assumed all sold are children tickets:

    total revenue = 150 x 11 = $1650

    -

    Difference in revenue:

    $2250 - $1650 = $600

    -

    Difference in the price of two tickets:

    $16 - $11 = $5

    -

    Find number of adult tickets:

    Number of adult tickets = $600 : $5 = 120

    -

    Find number of children tickets:

    Number of children tickets = 150 - 120 = 30

    -

    Answer: Adult tickets = 120, Children tickets = 30
