Suppose there were A adult tickets sold. Then the number of child tickets sold is 4A, so the total sales were
(7.25) A + (4.75) (4A)
= 7.25 A + 19 A
= 26.25 A
So we have 26.25 A = 2178.75
and so A = 2178.75 / 26.25 = 83
So the number of adult tickets sold is 83, and the number of child tickets is 4×83 = 332.

x = number of children tickets
y = number of adult tickets = (1/4)x
x / 4 * 7.25 + x * 4.75 = 2178.75
x (7.25/4 + 4.75) = 2178.75
x = 2178.75 / (7.25/4 + 4.75)
x = 332
y = 332 / 4 = 83

Let x = # of adult tickets sold.
That would make 4x = # of children's tickets sold.
2178.75 = 7.25x + 4.75(4x)
2178.75 = 7.25x + 19x
2178.75 = 26.25x
x=83 - # of adult tickets sold
4x = 83*4 = 332 - # of childrens tickets sold.

x = children's tickets
1/4 x = adult tickets
7.25 (1/4x) + 4.75(x) = 2178.75
1.8125x + 4.75x = 2178.75
6.5625x = 2178.75
x = 332 = children's tickets
1/4 (332) = 83 = adult ticket

7.25a+4.75c=2178.75
a=1/4(4.75c)
7.25[1/4(4.75c)]+4.75c=2178.75
7.25[1.1875c]+4.75c=2178.75
8.609375c+4.75c=2178.75
13.359375c=2178.75
c=163
163 childrens tickets sold.
a=1/4[4.75(163)]
a=1/4[774.25]
a=193
193 adult tickets sold.
