\n" ); document.write( "Hi
\n" ); document.write( "76 homes two floor plans
\n" ); document.write( "Let x and y represent the number of FP one and two respectively
\n" ); document.write( " x + y = 76 OR x = 76-y
\n" ); document.write( "floor plan one sells for $175,000 and floor plan two sells for $200,000
\n" ); document.write( " 175,000(76-y) + 200,000y = 14,400,000
\n" ); document.write( " 25,000y = 14,400,000 - 13,300,000
\n" ); document.write( " 25,000y = 110,0000
\n" ); document.write( " y = 44 and x = 32 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
