Let the wholesale price = $\"+p+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The wholesale price plus 50% is $\"+p+%2B+.5p+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The selling price is $\"+1.5p+%2B+.25+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+1.5p+%2B+.25+=+2.95+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+1.5p+=+2.70+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+p+=+2.7%2F1.5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+p+=+1.8+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The wholesale price is $1.80
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
