\n" ); document.write( "The money from sales of university tickets was twice the money from sales of primary tickets; and the price of a university ticket was four times the cost of a primary ticket. That means the number of primary tickets sold was twice the number of university tickets. Then the given information tells us

\n" ); document.write( "x = # of university tickets
\n" ); document.write( "2(x) = 2x = # of primary tickets
\n" ); document.write( "4(2x) = 8x = # of secondary tickets

\n" ); document.write( "The total price of the tickets sold was 22000:

\n" ); document.write( "\"400%28x%29%2B200%288x%29%2B100%282x%29+=+2200x+=+22000\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+22000%2F2200+=+10\"

\n" ); document.write( "So the numbers of tickets sold were
\n" ); document.write( "x = 10 university tickets
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 20 primary tickets
\n" ); document.write( "8x = 80 secondary tickets

\n" ); document.write( "CHECK:
\n" ); document.write( "10(400)+20(100)+80(200) = 4000+2000+16000 = 22000

\n" ); document.write( "Note the answer to the problem as presented is the (total) number of tickets sold....

\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: 10+20+80 = 110 tickets were sold

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
