\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let the more expensive stock be worth E/share
\n" ); document.write( "Then the less expensive stock is worth (E – 4)/share
\n" ); document.write( "Also, 13E + 27(E – 4) = 1,412
\n" ); document.write( "13E + 27E – 108 = 1,412
\n" ); document.write( "40E = 1,412 + 108
\n" ); document.write( "40E = 1,520
\n" ); document.write( "E, or more expensive stock is worth \"1520%2F40\", or $\"highlight_green%2838%29\"/share\r
