To find the number of children in the group, we need to set up an equation based on the given information.

Let's assume the number of children is "x". Since there are 25 more adults than children, the number of adults would be "x + 25".

Now let's calculate the total amount spent on adult tickets and child tickets.

The cost of an adult ticket is $15, so the total cost for adults would be (x + 25) * $15.
The cost of a child ticket is $8, so the total cost for children would be x * $8.

According to the given information, the total cost is $720. Therefore, we can set up the equation:

(x + 25) * $15 + x *$8 = $720

To solve this equation, we can follow these steps:

1. Distribute the multiplication:
15x + 375 + 8x = 720

2. Combine like terms:
23x + 375 = 720

3. Subtract 375 from both sides:
23x = 345

4. Divide both sides by 23:
x = 345 / 23

Calculating this, we find that x is equal to 15.

Therefore, there are 15 children in the group.
