Set it up as a proportionality and cross multiply:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"15%2F100=x%2F13.50\"$
\n" ); document.write( "100x=15*13.5
\n" ); document.write( "100x=202.5
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by 100
\n" ); document.write( "x=$2.025, round to $2.03\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Or think about $1.35 being 10% of $13.5, so 5% would be half of $1.35 ($.675)
\n" ); document.write( "15% is 10%+5% SO
\n" ); document.write( "15% = $1.35+$.675 = $2.025 round to $2.03 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
