document.write( "After spending $3850 for tables and $1750 for chairs, a convention center
\n" );
document.write( " manager finds that 30% of his original budget remains.
\n" );
document.write( "Let x represent the original amount of the budget
\n" );
document.write( "Question states*** 30% left, then 70% has been spent
\n" );
document.write( "  $3850 + $1750 = .70x
\n" );
document.write( "       $5600/.70 = x
\n" );
document.write( "      x = $8000, the original amount of the budget
\n" );
document.write( "   .30*$8000 = $2400, the amount that remains.\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
