\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Ratio accepted: not accepted = 14:31, or $\"14%2F31\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let multiplicative factor = x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then: 14x + 31x = 1,665
\n" ); document.write( "45x = 1,665
\n" ); document.write( "x = 37\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "As fraction accepted = $\"14%2F45\"$ , then amount accepted = $\"%2814%2F45%291665\"$ , or $\"highlight_green%28518%29\"$ \r
