You can put this solution on YOUR website!
ok, so we can say that A is what Andy gets and P is what Paul gets so
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A%2BP=80000\"$ so we just have to solve for A, we can subtract P from both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A%2BP-P=80000-P\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A=80000-P\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
