Let's call the number that went to the hall "x".....then the number that went to the stadium is just "20-x"

And the number that went to the hall times the price of a hall ticket plus the number who went to the stadium times the price of a stagium tickest = $750. Mathematically, we have...

(x)(30) + (20-x)(60) = 750     simplify this.......

30x + 1200 - 60x  = 750

-30x = -450    divide both sides by -30

x = 15    and this is the number who went to the hall

And (20-x)  = (20-15) = 5......and that's the number who went to the stadium
