that's because I figured it out without a formula.<g> I then asked MrL for the formula, and here's what he came up with: To solve for x1(which is #of children's tickets here) x=cost of adult tickets ($6) y=cost of child tickets ($3) a=total cost of all tickets ($390) b=total number of adult and child tickets (100) formula: a divided by (x minus y), minus b = x1. or, as here 390 divided by (6 minus 3), minus 100 390 divided by 3 = 130, less 100 = 30, which is the number of children's tickets. THen it is just subtraction to get the 70.
