create a method that the drama club can use to sell tickets. The method called findTicketTotal will take in adult or kid (as a String) and the number of tickets they want (as an int). It will return the total for that many tickets(as a double). Kids tickets are 4.50 each and adults are 7.00. So if they put in adult, 4, it would return 28. Or if kid (5) it would return 22.50. If they put anything else besides adult or kid, it will return -1.
