Let x = cost
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "1.4 * x = $ 2240
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x= $ 1600
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "1.5 * x = 1.5 * 1600 = $ 2400
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "check
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "40 % of 1600 is ,,,, (.4) *1600 = 640
\n" ); document.write( "640 + 1600 = $ 2240,,,,,ok
\n" ); document.write( ",
\n" ); document.write( "50 % of 1600 = 800
\n" ); document.write( "800 + 1600 = $ 2400,,,,ok
\n" ); document.write( "
