\n" ); document.write( "Pens are $\"10p\"$ =Ł $\"0.10\"$ more than pencils.
\n" ); document.write( "Assuming a pencil is $\"t\"$ , we have that pen cost $\"t%2B0.10\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then, if $\"6\"$ pens and $\"4\"$ pencils cost Ł $\"2.10\"$ , we have\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"6%28t%2B0.10%29%2B4t=2.10\"$ .....an equation to show this information\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "now you can solve for $\"t\"$ and find out what is the price of each item\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"6t%2B0.60%2B4t=2.10\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"10t=2.10-0.60\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"10t=1.50\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"t=1.50%2F10\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"t=0.15\"$ ......one pencil cost Ł $\"0.15\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then pen cost Ł $\"t%2B0.10=0.15%2B0.10=0.25\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "check: $\"6\"$ pens and $\"4\"$ pencils cost Ł $\"2.10\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Ł $\"6%2A0.25%2B4%2A0.15=2.10\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Ł $\"1.50%2B0.60=2.10\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Ł $\"2.10=2.10\"$ \r
