You can put this solution on YOUR website!
S = speed of the boat in calm water
\n" ); document.write( "C = current of a river flowing downstream\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "R = rate of the boat going upstream against the current,
\n" ); document.write( "so the current 'C' must be subtracted from the boar's speed 'S'\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "R = S - C
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
