Let number of adults' plates be A
\n" );
document.write( "Then number of children's plates = 2A
\n" );
document.write( "We then get: 2.25(2A) + 4.75A = 277.5
\n" );
document.write( "4.5A + 4.75A = 277.5
\n" );
document.write( "9.25A = 277.5
\n" );
document.write( "A, or adults' plates sold = \"highlight_green%28matrix%281%2C3%2C+%22%24277.5%22%2F9.25%2C+%22=%22%2C+30%29%29\"
\n" );
document.write( "That's IT!! Nothing MORE, nothing LESS! \n" );
