The 3 passengers get
\n" ); document.write( "\"+3+\" bottles of Vitamin water = \"+3%2A1.49+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+3+\" cliff bars = \"+3%2A1.79+\"
\n" ); document.write( "2 passengers get
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2+\" Dr Peppers = \"+2%2A1.2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2+\" Doritos = \"+2%2A.99+\"
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "This adds up to
\n" ); document.write( "\"+3%2A1.49+%2B+3%2A1.79+%2B+2%2A1.2+%2B+2%2A.99+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+4.47+%2B+5.37+%2B+2.4+%2B+1.98+=+14.22+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+x+\" = number of bags of Skittles they can buy
