the total now is $100 or 100%
\n" ); document.write( "let's say
\n" ); document.write( "$62 dollars from govt
\n" ); document.write( "$17 dorm fees
\n" ); document.write( "$30 tuition
\n" ); document.write( "$8 other
\n" ); document.write( "$3 endowments\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "now for a total of $120\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so $30 is 30/120=25%
\n" ); document.write( "62/120=51.6% dollars from govt
\n" ); document.write( "17/120=14.16% dorm fees
\n" ); document.write( "30/120=25% tuition
\n" ); document.write( "8/120=6.7% other
\n" ); document.write( "3/120=2.5% endowments\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
