\r\n" );
document.write( "Let x be the number of the Lower box tickets.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then the number of the Upper box tickets is (164-x).\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The equation for the total is\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    12.50x + 10*(164-x) = 1945.00.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "It is your basic equation to find the value of x.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "From the equation\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    x = \"%281945-10%2A164%29%2F%2812.50-10%29\" = 122.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "ANSWER.  122 Lower box tickets and the rest, 164-122 = 42 Upper box tickets.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "CHECK.  122*12.50 + 42*10.00 = 1945 dollars.    ! Precisely correct !\r\n" );
