    Let the amount of adult tickets sold be x

    Since the total of 380 tickets sold consists of the amount of adult tickets and the amount of children tickets that are 70 fewer:

    x + (x - 70) = 380

    2x - 70 = 380

    2x = 450

    x = 225

    Therefore, the amount of adult tickets sold is 225
