let x = total n. of kids
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"5%2F8\"x + 12
\n" ); document.write( "multiply by 8 to get rid of the denominators
\n" ); document.write( "8x = 5x + 96
\n" ); document.write( "8x - 5x = 96
\n" ); document.write( "3x = 96
\n" ); document.write( "x = 32 kids
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "Check this:
\n" ); document.write( "\"5%2F8\"*32 + 12 =
\n" ); document.write( "5(4) + 12 = 32
\n" ); document.write( "
