Remember:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"P=price\"$ for the stuff Donna bought
\n" ); document.write( "Putting into eqn less 10%:
\n" ); document.write( "P-10%P=$217.95+tax ----> $\"P-0.10P=217.95%2Bcross%28tax%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "*tax is negligible in this case since we're not on the total pay out price.
\n" ); document.write( "Continuing,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"P%281-0.10%29=217.95\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"P%2Across%280.90%29%2Fcross%280.90%29=cross%28217.95%29242.17%2Fcross%280.90%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"P=242.17\"$ ---------> PRICE WITHOUT 10% COUPON
