document.write( "Your formula is: \"%28W+%2A+L+%2A+Wt+%2A+F%5B1%5D%29%2FF%5B2%5D+=++Y\"
\n" );
document.write( "You can solve the equation for Wt, then plug in values for W, L, \"F%5B1%5D\", \"F%5B2%5D\", and Y to determine the value of Wt, OR
\n" );
document.write( "You can just substitute all values for all known variables to determine the value of the unknown variable. 
\n" );
document.write( "Note that in your attempt to determine the value of Wt, you would not get: \"%2828+%2A+40+%2A+Y+%2A+2%29%2F950+=+118\", but \"%2828+%2A+40+%2A+Wt+%2A+2%29%2F950+=+118\" instead.
\n" );
document.write( "This will give you the value of Wt, but since Y was actually ROUNDED to 118, you would not get a value of exactly 50
