\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The problem gives 1 child ticket for every 4 adult ticket.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "It also gives 3 senior tickets for every 4 adult tickets.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Thus, for every 4 adult tickets the problem gives 1 child ticket and 3 seniors tickets.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So, we have some number of groups, each containing 4 adult, 1 child and 3 senior tickets.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "In all, each such group has 4+1+3 = 8 tickets; hence, the number of groups is 72/8=9.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "From this point, there is one step to get the answer.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "ANSWER.  There were 9 child tickets, 3*9 = 27 senior tickets and 4*9 = 36 adult tickets. \r\n" );
