mass of small cake, y
\n" ); document.write( "mass of big cake, x\r
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "\"12x=9.62\"

\n" ); document.write( "\"x=0.8017\", mass of one big cake.
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=x%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "but you want to know 4y, meaning FOUR of the small cakes mass.
\n" ); document.write( "\"4y=4%28x%2F2%29=4%280.8017%29%2F2\"
