\r\n" );
document.write( "Since 20% is taken off, 100%-20% or 80% remains.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "80% of $65 is 0.80×$65 or $52.  That's the price without tax. \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The tax on $52 is 0.06×$52 or $3.12,\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "$52 + $3.12 = $55.12\r\n" );
