You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let x be the number of children and y be the number of adults, then
\n" ); document.write( "50x + (50 < c < 500)y = 28149
\n" ); document.write( "we are given x = 70
\n" ); document.write( "3500 + ( 50 < c < 500 )y = 28149
\n" ); document.write( "( 50 < c < 500 )y = 24649
\n" ); document.write( "note that the square root of 24649 is 157, therefore
\n" ); document.write( "157y = 24649
\n" ); document.write( "y = 157
\n" ); document.write( "157 adults attended and the cost of an adult ticket is $157\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
