\n" ); document.write( "While shopping for clothes, Hailey spent $3 less than twice what Cody spent. Hailey spent $73. How much did Cody Spend?\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let amount Cody spent be C
\n" ); document.write( "Then Hailey spent 2C - 3. Given that Hailey spent $73, we therefore have:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2C - 3 = 73\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2C = 73 + 3\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2C = 76\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "C, or amount Cody spent = $\"76%2F2\"$ , or $\"highlight_green%2838%29\"$ \r
