x = regular price of one item
\n" ); document.write( "y = discounted price of one item
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "3y = 2x
\n" ); document.write( "y = (2/3)x
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "implied discount:
\n" ); document.write( "x - y
\n" ); document.write( "x - (2/3)x
