\n" ); document.write( "x = # of tickets at $9.50 each
\n" ); document.write( "487-x = # of tickets at $8.00 each

\n" ); document.write( "Total ticket sales: 9.50(x)+8(487-x)

\n" ); document.write( "The total ticket sales was $4428.50:

\n" ); document.write( " $\"9.50%28x%29%2B8%28487-x%29+=+4428.5\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"9.50x%2B8%28487%29-8x+=+4428.5\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1.5x+=+4428.5-8%28847%29\"$
