sean had some money: \"x\" dollars\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "he used \"%282%2F3%29x\" to buy a watch
\n" ); document.write( "remainder will be \"x-%282%2F3%29x=%283%2F3%29x-%282%2F3%29x=%281%2F3%29x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and spent \"3%2F4\" of the remainder on a wallet, that is \"%283%2F4%29%281%2F3%29x=%283%2F12%29x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if the watch cost \"65\" dollars \"more\" than the wallet, we have\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%282%2F3%29x=%283%2F12%29x%2B65\" ......solve for \"x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"4%282%2F%283%2A4%29%29x=%283%2F12%29x%2B65\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%288%2F12%29x-%283%2F12%29x=65\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%285%2F12%29x=65\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"5x=65%2A12\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"5x=780\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=780%2F5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=156\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, a watch cost \"x=%282%2F3%29x\"->\"x=%282%2F3%29156\"->\"x=104\"dollars
\n" ); document.write( "remainder will be \"%281%2F3%29x=%281%2F3%29156\"->\"%281%2F3%29x=52\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3%2F4\" of the remainder on a wallet, that is \"%283%2F4%2952=39\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so,a watch cost \"x=104\" and a watch cost \"39\"dollars\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "how much did sean had left: \"x-%28watch%2Bwatch%29cost=156-%28104%2B39%29=156-143=13\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "how much money did sean have at first :\"156\" dollars\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
