\n" );
document.write( "Before he was left with $12, he had spent \"1%2F3\" on cheese
\n" );
document.write( "Therefore, before he bought cheese, he had \"12%2F%282%2F3%29\", or $18
\n" );
document.write( "Since he spent ½ of remainder on fruit, before he bought fruit, he had \"18%2F%281%2F2%29\", or $36
\n" );
document.write( "Since he spent ¼ of remainder on vegetables, before he bought vegetables, he had \"36%2F%283%2F4%29\", or $\"highlight_green%2848%29\" \n" );
