Set up a proportion:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5 cans / $2 = 2 cans / $x
\n" ); document.write( "5x = 4 {cross-multiplied}
\n" ); document.write( "x = $.80 {divided both sides by 5\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2 cans would cost $0.80
