    The answer to your question is:

    1200 children and 800 adults

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Data

    Children = $ 25 = c

    Adults = $ 50 = a

    Attendance = 2000

    Revenue = $70000

    # of children and adults.

    c + a = 2000 (I)

    25c + 50a = 70000 (II)

    Multiply I by - 25

    -25 c - 25 a = - 50000

    25c + 50a = 70000

    25a = 20000

    a = 800

    c + 800 = 2000

    c = 2000 - 800

    c = 1200
