\n" ); document.write( "the regular price of a computer is $\"1200\" and \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the regular price of a printer is $\"300\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a promotion that offers a \"40\"% discount on the printer when the computer is purchased at the regular price\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, first find a \"40\"% discount on the printer\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"40\"%=\"40%2F100=0.40\"....multiply the regular price\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "$\"300%2A0.40=120\"...so,discount on the printer is $\"120\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and you will pay for the printer $\"300-120=180\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " the total cost of the computer and the printer at the promotional price is \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "$\"1200%2B180=1380\"\r
