You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Your silver necklace is worth $45.50 and the sale price is for 1/5 off. First you should find out how much is 1/5.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If you divide 5 into 1 you will get .2 this is your percentage off. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then you take your silver necklace price of $45.50 and multiply it by your percentage of .2 which will give you $9.10.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "$45.50 - $9.10 = $36.40 is what you would pay for this silver necklace.
\n" ); document.write( "
