Let 'x' represents the cost of the ticket for an adult, and 'y' be the cost of a child's ticket.

Andrew's family spend 410 on two adult tickets.


2x=410

From the above expression,


\begin{gathered} x=(410)/(2) \\ =205 \end{gathered}

Thus, the cost of an adult ticket is 205.

Given that the Max's family spend 375 for 3 tickes, and two of them is for childrens.


\begin{gathered} x+2y=375 \\ 205+2y=375 \\ 2y=375-205 \\ 2y=170 \\ y=(170)/(2) \\ y=85 \end{gathered}

Thus, the cost for tickets for the childrens is 85.
