    84 tickets

    Step-by-step explanation:

    So first off lets add the tickets we sold to the tickets we have left. Lets x equal the amount of tickets we started with before selling.

    25+17=x

    Add them up.

    42=x

    We started with 42 tickets. To find how many tickets we had before spiting the tickets. We need to multiply our tickets by 2 since we had half. Let y be this number

    42*2=y

    Multiply them up

    84=y

    We started with 84 tickets.
