Let $\"+x+\"$ = the number they have to make
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+-+.04x+=+5000+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+.96x+=+5000+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+5000+%2F+.96+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+5208.333+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Sinc they can't make a part of a resistor,
\n" ); document.write( "they should make 5209
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
