\n" ); document.write( "SO people who voted from NORthern maywood = 5900 - S
\n" ); document.write( "VOTES FOR PROJECT FROM SOUTHERN MAYWOOD = S*10/100=S/10
\n" ); document.write( "VOTES FOR PROJECT FROM NORTHERN MAYWOOD = (5900 - S)*60/100= 6(5900-S)/10
\n" ); document.write( "TOTAL VOTES FOR PROJECT =S/10 + 6(5900-S)/10=(S+35400-6S)/10=(35400-5S)/10
\n" ); document.write( "PERCENT VOTES FOR THE PROJECT = (35400-5S)*100/(10*5900)=55
