\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the cost of \"75\" pounds will be proportionally higher:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"75%3A5=x%3A1.24\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"75%2A1.24=5x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"93=5x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"93%2F5=x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "$\"18.6=x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "or, you can do it this way:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, the cost of \"1\" pound is $\"1.24%2F5=0.248=0.25\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then the cost of \"75\" pounds will be \"0.25%2A75=18.6\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
