Let J be the pennies in the first jar. Then \"J%2B40\" are in the second jar.
\n" ); document.write( "You are told the total in both jars is \"150\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"Jar1+%2B+Jar2+=+150\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"J+%2B+%28J%2B40%29+=+150+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2J+%2B+40+=+150\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2J+=+110\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"J+=+55\"
\n" ); document.write( "The first jar has 55 pennies, the second one has \"55%2B40\" = \"95\" pennies.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "That's not a lot of pennies for two big jars :)
