LET \"P\" be the principal
\n" ); document.write( "interest added is
\n" ); document.write( " \"5%2F100%2AP\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"p%2B5%2F100%2Ap\"=126
\n" ); document.write( "solving for p
\n" ); document.write( "\"p%2B5%2F100%2Ap\"=126
\n" ); document.write( "\"p%2B0.05%2Ap\"=126
\n" ); document.write( "\"1.05%2Ap\"=126
\n" ); document.write( "\"p=120\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check
\n" ); document.write( "\"120%2B0.05%2A120\"=126 is indeed true
\n" ); document.write( "
