Let \"+a+\" = number of adult tickets
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+c+\" = number of children's tickets
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+a+%2B+c+=+468+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+c+=+2a+\"
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "(2) \"+a+=+c%2F2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute this into (1)
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+c%2F2+%2B+c+=+468+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+c%2A%28+1+%2B+1%2F2%29+=+468+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+c+=+468%2F1.5+\"
\n" ); document.write( "(1) \"+c+=+312+\"
\n" ); document.write( "There were 312 children's tickets sold
\n" ); document.write( "\"+468+-+312+=+156+\"
\n" ); document.write( "There were 156 adult tickets sold
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Money made = \"+15a+%2B+10c+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+15%2A156+%2B+10%2A312+=+2340+%2B+3120+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2340+%2B+3120+=+5460+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Money made = $5,460
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
