Let \"+p+\" = the cost of the pair of pants
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%283%2F4%29%2Ap+\" = the cost of the shoes
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2p+\" = the cost of the sweater
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+p+%2B+%283%2F4%29%2Ap+%2B+2p+=+12500+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+p%2A%28+1+%2B+3%2F4+%2B+2+%29+=+12500+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+p%2A%28+12%2F4+%2B+3%2F4+%29+=+12500+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+15%2F4+%29%2Ap+=+12500+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+15p+=+50000+\"
