\n" ); document.write( "Total people entered:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A%2BC=2002\"$ ----------> $\"A=2002-C\"$ , EQN 1
\n" ); document.write( "Total admission charges:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"48A%2B30C=81480\"$ ----------------------> WORKING EQN
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute EQN 1 in the WORKING EQN:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"48%282002-C%29%2B30C=81480\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"96096-48C%2B30C=81480\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"96096-81480=48C-30C\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"14616=18C\"$ ----> $\"cross%2814616%29812%2Fcross%2818%29=cross%2818%29C%2Fcross%2818%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"C=812\"$ , number of Children
\n" ); document.write( "Via EQN 1:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A=2002-812=1190\"$ , number of Adults
\n" ); document.write( "In doubt? Go back WORKING EQN:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"48%2A1190%2B30%2A812=81480\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"57120%2B24360=81480\"$
