document.write( "Let N = the number of teacher there were in all.\r\n" );

document.write( "480 teachers = 0.016 of the teachers\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "         480 = 0.016N\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Divide both sides by 0.016\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
