Answer:

a.   12a + 8c = 5500

b.    225 adult tickets

      350 child tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

a.    12a + 8c = 5500

b.     12a + 8(125 + a) = 5500

        12a + 1000 + 8a = 5500

                  20a = 4500

                       a = 225 adult tickets

            125 + a = 125 + 225 = 350 child tickets
