The answer is 
B: x+y=700
2x+4.5y=1200


x - the number of student tickets sold,
y - the number of adult tickets sold

The total number of sold tickets is 700:
x + y = 700

Adult tickets sold for $4.50 each and student tickets cost $2.oo each. If they took in a total of $1,200:
2x + 4.50y = 1200

The system of equations is:
x + y = 700
2x + 4.50y = 1200
