\n" ); document.write( "Let v=car's value\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since the company did not replace the car, this means that $8,000 is less than 80% of the car's value. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So this means we have the inequality \"8000+%3C+0.8%2Av\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"8000%2F0.8+%3C+%28cross%280.8%29%2Fcross%280.8%29%29v\" Divide both sides by 0.8\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"10000+%3C+v\" Divide\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So our answer is \"v%3E10000\" which means that the cars value is greater than $10,000\r
