Explanation:

Okay so, let C represent the number of child tickets Mrs. Smith purchased.

She paid $10.00 for an adult ticket, so the cost of the adult ticket is $10.00.

She also paid $5.00 for each child ticket, so the cost of the child tickets is $5.00 multiplied by the number of child tickets (C).

The total amount she spent is $35.00.

So, we can write the equation:

10 (cost of adult ticket) + 5C (cost of child tickets) = 35

10 + 5C = 35

Now, let's solve for C:

10 + 5C = 35

Subtract 10 from both sides of the equation:

5C = 35 - 10

5C = 25

Now, divide both sides by 5 to isolate C:

C = 25 / 5

C = 5

Mrs. Smith purchased 5 child tickets.
