If  " on both "  means  "altogether ",  then the answer is  1000  tickets,  as the problem says in its first words.


If  " on both "  means  " on each, separately ",  then solve this system of equations

      x +   y =  1000

    75x + 25y = 67100


Usually,  when  Math problem is formulated professionally,  this question

does not appear  " what the condition means ".
