    Create the equations-

    adult ticket cost=x

    child ticket cost=y

    8x+5y=177.5

    12x+6y=255

    the second equation can be simplified to

    2x+y=42.5

    y=42.5-2x

    Plug it into the first equation

    8x+5 (42.5-2x) = 177.5

    8x+212.5-10x=177.5

    -2x=-35

    x=17.5

    Use x to solve y=42.5-2x

    y=42.5-36

    y=6.5

    Adult tickets cost $17.50

    Child tickets cost $6.50
