Let s and z be snack bars and magazines. Then:
\n" ); document.write( "16s+4z=132
\n" ); document.write( "20s+6z=190
\n" ); document.write( "So:
\n" ); document.write( "48s+12z=396
\n" ); document.write( "40s+12z=380
\n" ); document.write( "8s=16
\n" ); document.write( "s=$2 per bar
\n" ); document.write( "z=$25 per subscription!!!!!!!!!!!\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Is this reasonable?? I think so!!!!!!!
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
