Answer:

  • 75 adult tickets
  • 125 child tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'a' represent the number of adult tickets sold. Then (200-a) is the number of child tickets sold, and the revenue is ...

  8a +5(200 -a) = 1225

  3a = 225 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 1000, simplify

  a = 75 . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 3

  200 -a = 125

75 adult ($8) and 125 child ($5) tickets were sold.
