If the number of tickets bought is xx,the price of each ticket is 167$167\$ and the travel insurance is 19$19\$,so total cost per ticket is x(167+19)x(167+19) and after removing the fee the family charged 1116$1116\$

x(167+19)=113216186x=1116[Divide both sides by 186]x=6$\begin{aligned}x(167+19)&=1132-16\\186x&=1116\\\text{[Divide both sides by 186]}\\x&=6\$\end{aligned}

So,the number of tickets bought is 66
