600 = total number of people (given)
\n" ); document.write( "$7000 = total (given)
\n" ); document.write( "x = number of adults
\n" ); document.write( "600 -x = number of children
\n" ); document.write( "13x = receipts from adults
\n" ); document.write( "11(600-x) = receipts from children
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "13x + 11(600-x) = 7000
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "13x + 6600 - 11x = 7000
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 400
\n" ); document.write( "x = 200
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "(600-x) = 400
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "So, the answer appears to be:
\n" ); document.write( "200 adults
\n" ); document.write( "400 children
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "But ALWAYS check your answer!
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "13*200 = 2600 received from adults
\n" ); document.write( "11*400 = 4400 received from children
\n" ); document.write( "Total = 7000
\n" ); document.write( "Correct.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Re-read the question to make sure you answer it.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Answer:
\n" ); document.write( "A total of 400 children attended.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Done.
