You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Price wanted: 20 pesos/kilogram\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Following your description very strictly:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Available:
\n" ); document.write( "* 40 kilograms at (18/40) pesos/kg
\n" ); document.write( "* unknown kilograms at (28/u) pesos/kg
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "The variable u, is how much of the \"28%2Fu\" priced rice to use.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"MONEY%2FMIXTURE=PRICE\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%28%2818%2B28%29%2F%2840%2Bu%29=20%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"46%2F%28u%2B40%29=20\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"23%2F%28u%2B40%29=10\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"23=10%28u%2B40%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"23=10u%2B400\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"10u=23-400\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"10u=-377\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%28u=-37.7%29\"------obviously makes no sense. The wording of the description is important. Your description as shown is unreliable as written. COST and PRICE do not mean the same thing.
