Let $\"+c+\"$ = number of calories in the ice cream
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+c+%2B+100+\"$ = number of calories in the pie
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+c+%2B+c+%2B+100+=+850+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2c+=+750+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+c+=+375+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+c+%2B+100+=+475+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "There are 375 calories in the ice cream
\n" ); document.write( "There are 475 calories in the pie
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+375+%2B+475+=+850+\"$
