Luckily for you, this is a very simple problem. You need three pieces to write an equation for this one: the cost of tickets (you know), the amount desired (you know), and the number of tickets sold (to be determined!). <BR>\n" );
document.write( "If tickets cost $4 and the students desire to make $28,000 our equation will look like this:<BR>\n" );
document.write( "4x=28,000<BR>\n" );
document.write( "where x is the number of tickets the students sell. Now to solve, we need to isolate the variable x. We can accomplish this by dividing both sides by 4. <BR>\n" );
document.write( "28,000/4=7,000. <BR>\n" );
document.write( "So, if the students want to make $28,000 off of $4 tickets, they will need to sell 7,000 tickets. Talk about a packed house! :)<BR>\n" );
