But when it's setup as 47/x=82/73.8 it gives you the right answer. So, I tried to setup as 47/x=92/73.8 it gives the wrong answer. I would like someone to explain why when you setup ONE way it gives you the right answer and why when it's setup the OTHER ways it gives you the wrong answer. \n" ); document.write( "
