You can put this solution on YOUR website!
In terms of units:
\n" ); document.write( "( dollars / gallon ) x ( ( miles / day ) / ( miles / gallon ) ) x ( days )
\n" ); document.write( "After doing the division, you get:
\n" ); document.write( "( dollars / gallon ) x ( miles / day ) x ( gallons / mile ) x ( days )
\n" ); document.write( "Now I'll do a slight reordering:
\n" ); document.write( "( dollars / gallon ) x ( gallons / mile ) x ( miles / day ) x ( days )
\n" ); document.write( "Doing the cancellations, I get:
\n" ); document.write( "( dollars / mile ) x ( miles ) = dollars
\n" ); document.write( "Which is what you're after
\n" ); document.write( "Now, plugging in the numbers:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28+3.35+%29%2A%28+40+%2F+25+%29%2A5+=+3.35%2A8+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3.35%2A8+=+26.8+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "For a 5 day work week, $26.80 is spent
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
