c for price of child ticket, g for price of grownup ticket.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"160c%2B90g=1600\" accounting for sales revenue.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"16c%2B9g=160\", and expect that \"c%3Cg\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"16c=-9g%2B160\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"c=-%289%2F16%29g%2B10\"
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "substitute into the inequality:
\n" ); document.write( "\"-%289%2F16%29g%2B10%3Cg\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"10%3Cg%2B%289%2F16%29g\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"160%3C16g%2B9g\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"160%3C25g\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"g%3E160%2F25\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"g%3E32%2F5\" which is $6.40. This is a lower boundary for adult ticket price.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now solve the equation for g instead; MAYBE it would help further(?).
\n" ); document.write( "\"9g=160-16c\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"g=160%2F9-%2816%2F9%29c\"
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "substitute to the inequality,
\n" ); document.write( "\"c%3Cg\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"c%3C160%2F9-%2816%2F9%29c\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"9c%3C160-16c\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"9c%2B16c%3C160\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"25c%3C160\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"c%3C160%2F25\", which is the same boundary as for adult price, but just in the other direction.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "As finely grained as you can find solutions, the ticket prices MUST be in whole penny quantities, including 0. Children's tickets are priced as BELOW $6.40, and adult tickets are HIGHER than $6.40. Several solutions to the two dimensional problem are possible as long as you take perfect hundredth of a dollar accuracy.
