    Number of children's tickets sold = 150

    Number of adult's tickets sold = 250

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The total number of tickets sold = 400

    Let us assume the number of children's tickets = m

    So, the number of adult's ticket's sold = 400 - m

    Here, the cost of 1 movie ticket for adult = $8.00

    So, the cost of (400 - m) adult tickets = (400 - m) (Cost of 1 adult ticket)

    = (400 - m) ($8) = 3200 - 8 m

    The cost of each ticket for child = $5.00

    The cost of m children tickets = m (Cost of 1 children ticket)

    = m ($5) = 5 m

    Now, total cost of tickets = Money spend on (Adult's + children's) Ticket

    ⇒ 2750 = (3200 - 8 m) + (5 m)

    or, 2750 - 3200 = - 8 m + 5 m

    or, - 450 = - 3 m

    or, m = 450/3 = 150

    or, m = 150

    Hence, the number of children's tickets = m = 150

    The number of adult's tickets sold = 400 - m = 400 - 150 = 250
