You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You can say that his sales = $\"+s+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and his bonus = $\"+.2s+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Then I can say:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+.2s+%2F+s+=+500+%2F+x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The $\"+s\"$ 's cancel, so I have:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+.2%2F1+=+500%2Fx+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x\"$ is the amount of his sales
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+500%2F.2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+2500+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "$2,500 sales \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
