You can put this solution on YOUR website!
U = value of US dollar
\n" ); document.write( "C = value of Canadian dollar\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "C = U - 18% of U
\n" ); document.write( "C = U - 0.18U
\n" ); document.write( "C = 0.82U
\n" ); document.write( "C/0.82 = U
\n" ); document.write( "C*(1/0.82) = U
\n" ); document.write( "C*1.21951 = U
\n" ); document.write( "U = 1.21951*C
\n" ); document.write( "U = 1 + 0.21951*C
\n" ); document.write( "U = C + 21.951% of C\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the US dollar value exceeds the Canadian dollar value by roughly 21.951%\r
