\r\n" );
document.write( "Let x be the total number of people at the exhibit.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then the problem says\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    0.12x = 15.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "It gives\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    x = 15/0.12 = 125.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then the number of adults was  125 - 15 = 110.    ANSWER\r\n" );
