\n" ); document.write( "With plan A:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+S+=+2%2A2750+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+S+=+5500+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "With Plan B:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+S+=+2%2A2100+%2B+.0725a+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+S+=+2%2A2100+%2B+.0725a+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+S+=+4200+%2B+.0725%2A9000+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+S+=+4200+%2B+652.5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+S+=+4852.5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+5500+-+4852.5+=+647.5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "She can expect to make $647.50 more per month with plan A
