Let's break the problem down.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If she put up 80 yards of fencing in the morning, 140 yards are left. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So that would be the remaining fence: 140 yards.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If she put up 40% of the remaining fence in the afternoon (140 yards), what do you get? Add this with 80 yards to find out the total amount of fencing she put up.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now you have the put up fencing/220 yards.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So find out the fencing that's still left after today out of 220 yards.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "*Note that you will have to round the answer accordingly.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
