The number of child tickets sold that day were 26.

Here, we are given that the fees for admission into the museum is as follows-

Child admission = $5.50

Adult admission = $9.60

Let the number of children admitted on Saturday be x

then the number of adults admitted that day = 4x

Now, the total money from sale of children tickets = $5.50x

the total money from sale of adult tickets = $9.6 × 4x = $38.4x

The total money from sale of tickets =  $1141.40

⇒ 5.50x + 38.4x = 1141.40

43.9x = 1141.40

x = 1141.40/ 43.9

x = 26

Thus, the number of child tickets sold that day were 26.
