Answer:

They sold 30 adult tickets and 50 kids tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is solved by a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the number of adult tickets sold

y is the number of kids tickets sold.

80 tickets are sold

This means that x + y = 80, or also, x = 80 - y

For a Saturday matinee, adult tickets cost $7.50 and kids under 12 pay only $6.00. Tickets were sold for a total of $525.

This means that:

7.5x + 6y = 525

Since x = 80 - y

7.5(80 - y) + 6y = 525

600 - 7.5y + 6y = 525

1.5y = 75

y = \frac{75}{1.5} = 50

x = 80 - y = 80 - 50 = 30

They sold 30 adult tickets and 50 kids tickets.
