\n" ); document.write( "cross products
\n" ); document.write( " $\"85x+=+680%2A100\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"85x+=+68000\"$
\n" ); document.write( "divide each side by 85
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+68000%2F85\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+68000%2F85\"$ , x = 800
\n" ); document.write( "Testing, 680/800 gives us 85% \n" ); document.write( "
