document.write( "Ans:\r\n" );
document.write( "Let the number of children be x\r\n" );
document.write( "Then the number of adults = 110 - x (since they bought a total of 110 tickets)\r\n" );
document.write( "Cost of children's tickets = 20*x\r\n" );
document.write( "Cost of adult's tickets = (110 - x)*30\r\n" );
