You can put this solution on YOUR website!
\"w\"= number of white shirts sold
\n" ); document.write( "\"y\"= number of yellow shirts sold
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\"w%2By=30\" because the store sold 30 sweatshirts.
\n" ); document.write( "\"w%2By=30\" <---> \"y=30-w\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\"9.95w%2B13.5y=337.55\" or \"9.95w%2B13.5%2830-w%29=337.55\"
\n" ); document.write( "because $337.55 worth of sweatshirts were sold.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\"9.95w%2B13.5%2830-w%29=337.55\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"9.95w%2B13.5%2A30-13.5w=337.55\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%289.95-13.5%29w%2B13.5%2A30=337.55\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-3.55w%2B405=337.55\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-3.55w=337.55-405\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-3.55w=-67.45\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"w=%28-67.45%29%2F%28-3.55%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28w=19%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Going back to \"y=30-w\"
\n" ); document.write( "and substituting \"w=19\" we get
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=30-19\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28y=11%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
