You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Coworker's paycheck = x
\n" ); document.write( "Your paycheck = 0.85x (15% less)
\n" ); document.write( "x + 0.85x = 735
\n" ); document.write( " 1.85x = 735
\n" ); document.write( " x = 735/1.85
\n" ); document.write( " x = 397.30
\n" ); document.write( "15% of $397.30 = $59.59
\n" ); document.write( " $397.30 - $59.59 = $337.71
\n" ); document.write( "$397.30 + $337.71 = $735.01
\n" ); document.write( "Coworkers paycheck = $397.30
\n" ); document.write( "Your paycheck = $337.71
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps.
