You only need to ask this once, not three times in a row.

Let x = how many children tickets
Let y = how many adult tickets

Account for the ticket count: x+y=275
Account for the money: 3x+5y=1025

Solve the system. Elimination Method might be easiest. Multiply ticket count equation by 3 and subtract from the money equation, and first find the value for y.
