\n" ); document.write( "Total expenses: Rental fee + cost=$100+$1.00(no. of Candles)
\n" ); document.write( "Income: $5.00 (no. of candles)
\n" ); document.write( "We equate the 2 conditions:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"100%2B1.00C=5.00C\"$ EQN 1
\n" ); document.write( " $\"100=5C-1C\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"100=4C\"$ ---------> $\"cross%28100%2925%2Fcross%284%29=cross%284%29C%2Fcross%284%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"C=25\"$ -----------> no. of candles must be sold to equal expenses.
\n" ); document.write( "Let's go EQN 1 to show:
\n" ); document.write( "Rental fee + cost = income
\n" ); document.write( " $\"100%2B1.00%2825%29=5.00%2825%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"100%2B25=125\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"125=125\"$
