Johnny is selling tickets to a school play. On the first day of ticket sales he sold 14 senior (S) citizen tickets and 4 child (C) tickets for a total of $200. On the second day of ticket sales he sold 7 senior (S) citizen tickets and 1 child (C) ticket for a total of $92. What is the price of one child ticket?
14S + 4C = 200
14S = 200 - 4C
S = (200 - 4C)/14
7S + 1C = 92
7S = 92 - C
S = (92 - C)/7
(200 - 4C)/14 = (92 - C)/7
7 x (200 - 4C) = 14 x (92 - C)
1400 - 28C = 1288 - 14C
1400 - 1288 = 28C - 14C
112 = 14C
C = 112/14 = 8
the price of one child ticket = $8
The problem statement tells you "7 friends were playing basketball".

It appears 5 friends were only playing basketball, 2 friends were playing basketball and having snacks, and 3 friends were only having snacks. Apparently, 10 friends were doing neither of those activities.
Fractional index means "xth root of". Negative index means a fraction. So together, what it really means is:
![\frac{1}{\sqrt[5]{32}} = \frac{1}{2}.](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B%5Csqrt%5B5%5D%7B32%7D%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D.)
