There are 64 adults and 36 children at the local museum.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total number of people = 100

Total paid amount = $1056

Cost of 1 adult ticket = $12

Cost of 1 child ticket = $8

Solution,

Let the number of child be 'x'.

And also let the number of adult be 'y'.

So, the total number of people is the sum of the number of child and the number of adult.

On framing the above sentence in equation form, we get;

Again total paid amount is the sum of the number of child multiplied with cost of 1 child ticket and the number of adult multiplied with cost of 1 adult ticket.

On framing the above sentence in equation form, we get;

On multiplying equation 1 by 8, we get;

Now subtracting equation 3 by equation 2, we get;

On substituting the value of 'y' in equation 1, we get;

Hence There are 64 adults and 36 children at the local museum.
