You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let \"+x+\" = the amount you initially have in the bank
\n" ); document.write( "\"+5x+\" = the amount you initially have in the safe
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "Later the bank has:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+%2B+225+\"
\n" ); document.write( "and the safe has:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+5x+-+225+\"
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "And that results in:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+%2B+225+=+8%2A%28+5x+-+225+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+-8%2A225+-+225+%2B+40x+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+39x+=+9%2A225+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+2025+%2F+39+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+51.923+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+5x+=+259.615+\"
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "You have $ 51.92 in the bank and
\n" ); document.write( "$ 259.62 in the safe, initially
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( "Take $225 out of safe, The safe has:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+259.62+-+225+=+34.62+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Put the $225 in the bank. The bank has:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+51.92+%2B225+=+276.92+\"
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The bank now has 8 times more than the safe
\n" ); document.write( "\"+276.92+=+8%2A34.62+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+276.92+=+276.96+\"
\n" ); document.write( "error due to rounding off, I think
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
