Your copy & paste did not work correctly.

Something maybe more like:
---
Tickets for a school event were $2.25 for students and $3.50 for parents.
If a total of [youneednumberhere] tickets were sold for [needanotherhere] , how many student and parent tickets were sold?
---

Still two values are missing. Both so far are still variables.


T, total tickets sold
R, the revenue of sold tickets
They should be given values.

if let p equal number of parent tickets, then T-p is how many student tickets.

Accounting for the revenue, which did not appear in your copy & paste display then
