\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28+7%2F4+%29%2Aa++140+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+7a+=+560+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+a+=+80+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%283%2F4%29%2Aa+=+%283%2F4%29%2A80+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%283%2F4%29%2Aa+=+60+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Jake earned $60
