\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I think it is system of equation so I set up and equation of 1.50c + 2200=5050, then I subtracted 2200 from both sides which left me with 1.50c=2850, so I then divided both sides by 1.50 which gave me 1900. But then that means only 300 adults at 4.00 dollars can out to be $1,200 so my total only came to be $4050 making it $1,000 short and I cannot figure this out please help me.\r
