    X=amount of children tickes sold

    y=amount of adult tickets sold

    2 times of children as adult

    x=2y

    total cost is 800

    5x+10y=800

    divide both sides by 5

    x+2y=160

    x=2y

    2y+2y=160

    4y=160

    divie by 4

    y=40

    x=2y

    x=2 (40)

    x=80

    80 children tickets

    40 adult tickets
