You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Cost + Tips = $53.70\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Tips = $9.60\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Just the foods cost, $53.70 minus $9.60.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Two friends, equal cost for food and the tips.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%2853.70-9.60%29%2F2=FoodCostPerFriend\", which does not include the tips.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "$22.05 per friend for the food.
