\n" ); document.write( " $\"%281%2F5%29C+%2B+%282%2F5%29C%2B6+%2B+20+=+C\"$
\n" ); document.write( "multiply everything by 5 to get
\n" ); document.write( " $\"C+%2B+2C+%2B+30+%2B+100+=+5C\"$
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 3 C to get
\n" ); document.write( " $\"130+=+2C\"$
\n" ); document.write( "divide to get
\n" ); document.write( " $\"C+=65\"$ customers \n" ); document.write( "
