To represent the situation using mathematical language, we can let $x$ represent the number of children and $y$ represent the number of adults.<br /><br />Given that the total amount in ticket earnings is $2360, we can write the equation:<br /><br />$10y + 8x = 2360$<br /><br />Additionally, we are given that there are 56 more adults than children, which can be represented as:<br /><br />$y = x + 56$<br /><br />Now we have a system of two equations with two variables:<br /><br />$10y + 8x = 2360$<br />$y = x + 56$<br /><br />We can solve this system of equations to find the values of $x$ and $y$.
