Let \"+c+\" = the cost in CENTS of 1 quart of orange juice
\n" ); document.write( "\"+c+-+100+\" = the cost in CENTS of 1 quart of grape juice
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Convert quantities of juice to multiples of \"+1%2F2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%285%2F2%29%2Ac+%2B+%283%2F2%29%2A%28+c+-+100+%29+=+1250+\" ( all in CENTS )
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by \"+2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+5c+%2B+3%2A%28+c+-+100+%29+=+2500+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+5c+%2B+3c+-+300+=+2500+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+8c+=+2800+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+c+=+350+\" cents
\n" ); document.write( "\"+c+-+100+=+250+\" cents
\n" ); document.write( "1 quart of orange juice cost $3.50
\n" ); document.write( "1 quart of grape juice costs $2.50
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%285%2F2%29%2Ac+%2B+%283%2F2%29%2A%28+c+-+100+%29+=+1250+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%285%2F2%29%2A350+%2B+%283%2F2%29%2A%28+350+-+100+%29+=+1250+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%285%2F2%29%2A350+%2B+%283%2F2%29%2A250+=+1250+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by \"+50+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+35%2F2+%2B+15%2F2+=+25+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+35+%2B+15+=+50+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+50+=+50+\"
\n" ); document.write( "OK\r
