document.write( "Sales = (Cost Per Item × Number of Items) – Constant Charges \n" );
document.write( "In this equation, constant charges may be rent, salaries, or other fixed costs. This includes anything that you have to pay for periodically as a business owner.

document.write( "Sales = $0.15 × number of e-readers sold – $28 \n" );
document.write( "Or, assuming x = the number of e-readers sold, this would be the same regression equation: \n" );

document.write( "In this case, the values are given in thousands (i.e., the cost of making an individual e-reader will be $150 [0.15 × 1,000], with $28,000 [28 * 1,000] in constant charges).\r \n" );
