You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let the total cost = C\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The person cost is :
\n" ); document.write( "Let the cost per person with 40 = c\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The cost per person at 36 = c+ 12\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Total cost is the same:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"40c+=+36%28c+%2B+12%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"40c+=+36c+%2B+432+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"4c+=+432+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"c+=+108+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check yor answer. does 40*108 = 36(120)?? as they say in fargo 'you betcha'
\n" ); document.write( "
