Set number Adult tickets=A
\n" ); document.write( "Set number Student tickets=S\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You can now write 2 equations:
\n" ); document.write( "\"A%2BS=200\" Eqn1. Adult tickets + Student tickets = 200
\n" ); document.write( "\"A%2A3%2BS%2A1.5=495\" Eqn2. Adult tickets*$3 + Student tickets*$1.50 = $495\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "from eqn 1
\n" ); document.write( "\"S=200-A\" and insert into Eqn2.
\n" ); document.write( "\"A%2A3%2B1.5%2A%28200-A%29=495\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A%2A3%2B300-1.5%2AA=495\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"1.5%2AA=195\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=130\"
\n" ); document.write( "and from Eqn1.
\n" ); document.write( "\"S=200-A=200-130=70\"\r
