\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let p = per cent required in decimal form
\n" ); document.write( "let the two number be x & y
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "1.4x * py = x * y
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides the xy
\n" ); document.write( "1.4p = 1
\n" ); document.write( "p = .7143 * 100 = 71.43% of the 2nd number
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"by what percent the other number is diminished\"
