Let $\"+s+\"$ = cost of a student ticket
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( "Total receipts from full-priced tickets = $\"+530%2A6+=+3180+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Number of student tickets sold = $\"+700+-+530+=+170+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Total receipts from student tickets = $\"+170s+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3180+%2B+170s+=+4030+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+170s+=+4030+-+3180+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+170s+=+850+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+s+=+5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "A student ticket cost $5 \n" ); document.write( "
