\r\n" );
document.write( "\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 490-x\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The money equation is\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    12.50*x + 8*(490-x) = 4343   dollars.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "From the equation, express x and calculate\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    x = \"%284343-8%2A490%29%2F%2812.50-8%29\" = 94.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "ANSWER.  94 lower box tickets and the rest, 490-94 = 396 upper reserved tickets.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "CHECK.   94*12.50 + 396*8 = 4343 dollars.   ! Precisely correct !\r\n" );
