Let \"+x+\" = the original sum
\n" ); document.write( "He spent \"+%282%2F5%29%2Ax+\" of it on a shirt
\n" ); document.write( "There was \"+%28+3%2F5+%29%2Ax+\" left
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "He spent \"+%281%2F3%29%2A%28+3%2F5+%29%2Ax+\" on a belt
\n" ); document.write( "He had \"+%28+2%2F3+%29%2A%28+3%2F5+%29%2Ax+\" left
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+2%2F3+%29%2A%28+3%2F5+%29%2Ax+=+200+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+6%2F15+%29%2Ax+=+200+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+%28+5%2F2+%29%2A200+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+500+\"
\n" ); document.write( "The original sum was Rs. 500\r
