Answer:

400 adult tickets and 325 children tickets

Explanation:

first lets make a system of equations

2.50x+1y=1325

x+y=725

x being adult tickets, y being child tickets

2.50x+1(-x+725)=1325

1.50x+725=1325

1.50x=600

x=400

there were 400 adult tickets sold

then x+y=725

400+y=725

y=325

there were 325 children tickets sold
