You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Working eqn:
\n" ); document.write( "REMAINING LOAD (NO. OF CEMENT BAGS=\"x\") TO BE ADDED :
\n" ); document.write( "MAX. CAPACITY = [WEIGHT of operator+(no.of.bags)*(60lbs)]
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2500lbs=160lbs%2Bx%2860bs%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282500lbs-160lbs%29%2F60=x\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2340%2F60=x\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"39=x\"$ ------------------------> TOTAL no. of cement bags can be added that weigh 60 lbs each
\n" ); document.write( "Check it out:
\n" ); document.write( "= $\"160lbs%2B%2860lbs%29%2839%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "= $\"160lbs%2B2340lbs\"$
\n" ); document.write( "= $\"2500lbs\"$ , MAX CAPACITY. GOOD!
