\n" ); document.write( "To solve this problem, we can assume (even though it was almost certainly not true!) that each group of movie goers consisted of 4 adults and 1 child.

\n" ); document.write( "The cost of each group would be \"4%2A9.50+%2B+5.10+=+38.00+%2B+5.10+=+43.10\"

\n" ); document.write( "The number of groups required to get a total ticket sales amount of 1293.00 is
\n" ); document.write( "\"1293%2F43.10+=+30\"

\n" ); document.write( "Since there were 30 groups, there were 120 adults and 30 children.
