I think they are assuming there are ONLY students
\n" ); document.write( "and adults on the plane, and none of the adults
\n" ); document.write( "are students ( not always true in real life )
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+a+\" = the number of adults
\n" ); document.write( "\"+a+%2B+12+\" = the number of students
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "\"+a+%2B+a+%2B+12+=+100+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2a+=+88+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+a+=+44+\"
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "\"+a+%2B+12+=+44+%2B+12+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+a+%2B+12+=+56+\"
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The ratio of students to adults is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+56%2F44+=+28%2F22+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+28%2F22+=+14%2F11+\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
