Check:

There were 10 children in the group

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know the number of children in the group;

Firstly , we were told that the group contains 16 people

Secondly, we are also told that 6 of the people there are adults

and there are only two ticket types ( adult and children)

So the number of children will be the total

number of people in the group- number of adults = 16-6 = 10

it is contrapositive

i could not see the question too well so check yourself again too . this is because i want you to get it correct.
