Let the cost of the dinner = x
\n" ); document.write( "The cost of the dance = $\"+2760+-+x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+1.16%2A%28+2760+-+x+%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+3201.6+-+1.16x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2.16x+=+3201.6+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+1482.22+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2760+-+x+=+2760+-+1482.22+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2760+-+x+=+1277.78+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The cost of the dinner is $1,482.22
