as with all word problems, translate the words to symbols. Then you have equations which can be solved.
If there are a adult and c child tickets, you have two sets of facts: the number of tickets and their cost.
c + a = 64
1.00c + 2.50a = 109.00
Now you can use your math skills to solve those equations.

number of adult tickets --- x
number of student tickets -- y
x + y = 64
2.5x + y = 109
subtract the two equations to get x = ...
then sub back into the first equation to get y
