\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "9% on the sale is 0.09 * 18 000 = $1620 (this is what the realtor earned)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, the profit is $ 18 000 - $ 1620 = $ $16 380 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Mary gives 3/5 of that to her mother. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3/5 * 16380 = $ 9828 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "After Mary's mother receives the $ 9828 , Mary is left with
\n" ); document.write( "$ 16 380 - $ 9828 = $ 6552\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Mary keeps 2/3 for her use , so we find out that this amount is
\n" ); document.write( "2/3 * $6552 = $ 4368 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "She puts 1/3 into the bank and this amount should be $ 6552 - $ 4368 = $ 2184.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To check, 1/3 * $6552 = $ 2184 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
