1 answer

The number of adult tickets sold is 2/3 * 345 = <<2/3*345=230>>230 tickets
The price of the adult tickets is 230 * $13.95 = $<<230*13.95=3208.5>>3208.5
The price of the children's tickets is $13.95 * 2/3 = $<<13.95*2/3=9.3>>9.3
The number of children's tickets sold is 345 - 230 = <<345-230=115>>115 tickets
Therefore, the movie theater made $9.3 * 115 = $1069.5 from the sale of children's tickets. Answer: \boxed{1069.5}.
