Assuming,

Peter sold tickets = x ( Because both the Gary and tracy tickets are according to Peter)

Gary = x + 8 ( Sold 8 more ticket than Peter, given)

Tracy = x - 12 ( Sold 12 less ticket than Peter, given)

Total tickets sold = 50

So Peter + Gary + Tracy = 50

Therefore,

x + x +8 + x -12 = 50

3x - 4 = 50

3x = 54

x = 18

Therefore,

Peter sold x Tickets = 18

Garry sold 8 More than Peter (x + 8) = 26

Tracy sold 12 less than Peter (x - 12) = 6

So, Total tickets sold = 18 (Peter) + 26 (Garry) + 6 Tracy = 50 Tickets.

So Gary (Gray) sold 26 Tickets.
