document.write( "Question 894770: A theater has tickets at $6 for adults, $3.50 for students, and $2.50 for children. A total of 278 tickets were sold with a total revenue of $1300. If the number of adult tickets sold was 10 less than twice the number of students tickets, how many of each ticket were sold for the showing? \n" ); document.write( "

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
g = how many adult tickets
\n" ); document.write( "s = how many student tickets
\n" ); document.write( "c = children tickets\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"g%2Bs%2Bc=278\" and \"g=-10%2B2s\";
\n" ); document.write( "\"-10%2B2s%2Bs%2Bc=278\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%283s%2Bc=288%29\", accounts for tickets but g is eliminated.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"6g%2B3.5s%2B2.5c=1300\" starting with account of revenue.
\n" ); document.write( "\"6%282s-10%29%2B3.5s%2B2.5c=1300\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"12s-60%2B3.5s%2B2.5c=1300\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"15.5s%2B2.5c=1360\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%2831s%2B5c=2720%29\", accounts the revenue, also g is eliminated.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Start equation solution as elimination, using 5 times the ticket count equation:
\n" ); document.write( "\"31s%2B5c-%2815s%2B5c%29=2720-5%2A288\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"16s=1280\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28highlight%28s=80%29%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You take care of the rest of the solution for g and c.
