\n" ); document.write( "so we want 5% of $48.
\n" ); document.write( "multiply the numbers
\n" ); document.write( "so 5*48 = 240
\n" ); document.write( "then divide this by 100
\n" ); document.write( " $\"240%2F100\"$ = 2.4
\n" ); document.write( "we started out with dollars and we finish with dollars!
\n" ); document.write( "So 5% of $48 is $2.40 \n" ); document.write( "
