dear student ,
\n" ); document.write( " it is my great pleasure to give the answer,
\n" ); document.write( "data given 500 tickets are sold
\n" ); document.write( "$7.50 for adults and $4for child
\n" ); document.write( "by trial and error method
\n" ); document.write( "to find total 3312.50$
\n" ); document.write( " considering 500=(250+250)=500
\n" ); document.write( "we calculate 250*$7.50=1875.00+ 250*4=1000
\n" ); document.write( " we will get 2875.00 $ so this is wrong
\n" ); document.write( " by this way we take depends upon our practice
\n" ); document.write( " we take (375+125)=500
\n" ); document.write( " 375*7.50=2812.50$
\n" ); document.write( "and 125*4=500$ so
\n" ); document.write( "2812.50+500= 3312.50 $
\n" ); document.write( " this is right answer
\n" ); document.write( "so 375 adults and 125 tickets for childrens were sold
\n" ); document.write( "thanks
