\n" ); document.write( "let tax be $\"x\"$ % or $\"x%2F100\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "given price $\"p=+2375pesos\"$ and total bill $\"2530pesos\"$
\n" ); document.write( "you need to find $\"x\"$ % (or $\"x%2F100\"$ ) of $\"p=2375pesos\"$ , add it to the $\"p\"$ to get the total bill of $\"2530pesos\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"2375pesos%2B%28x%2F100%292375pesos=2530pesos\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x%2F100%292375pesos=2530pesos-2375pesos\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x%2A2375pesos%29%2F100=155pesos\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%2A2375cross%28pesos%29=15500cross%28pesos%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=15500%2F2375\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=6.526315789473684\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=6.53\"$ % is the sales tax rate
