\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "Let x = # of adult tickets;\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "then the number of children tickets is (356-x).\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Write the total money equation (revenue equation)\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    1.75*(356-x) + 2.25x = 666   dollars.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "From the equation\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    x = \"%28666-1.75%2A356%29%2F%282.25-1.75%29\" = 86.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "ANSWER.  86 adults and 356-86 = 270 children.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "CHECK.  86*2.25 + 270*1.75 = 666  dollars.   ! Correct !\r\n" );
