y is 10% more than 125
\n" ); document.write( " hence y= 125+ 10 % of 125
\n" ); document.write( " = $\"+125%2B+%2810%2F100%29%2A125\"$
\n" ); document.write( " = $\"125%2B12.5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "=137.5
\n" ); document.write( " x is 10 % less than y
\n" ); document.write( " x= 137.5-10 % of 137.5
\n" ); document.write( " = $\"+137.5-+%2810%2F100%29%2A137.5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "=137.5-13.75
\n" ); document.write( "=123.75
\n" ); document.write( "x =123.75 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
