Let \"+n+\" = number of cookies
\n" ); document.write( "David's dad made
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "David took \"+%281%2F3%29%2A%28n+-+6%29+\" cookies
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%281%2F3%29%2A%28+n+-+6+%29+=+8+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+n+-+6+=+24+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+n+=+30+\"
\n" ); document.write( "His dad made 30 cookies\r
