Let \"+x+\" = the value of the stock 6 yrs ago
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+700%2F100+%29%2Ax+=+1400+\"
\n" ); document.write( "( note that the actual value after 6 yrs is \"+x+%2B+%28+700%2F100+%29%2Ax+\",
\n" ); document.write( "but they give you just the amount of the increase )
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+7x+=+1400+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+200+\"
\n" ); document.write( "The value of the stock 6 yrs ago was $200
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "The value of the stock now is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+%2B+%28+700%2F100+%29%2Ax+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+200+%2B+7%2A200+=+1600+\"
\n" ); document.write( "$1,600
