document.write( "Two eggs with bacon cost $2.70.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "One egg with bacon costs $1.80.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "HENCE (!), one egg costs exactly $2.70 - $1.80 = $0.90.   Agree ?\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Now only one step remains to reveal that the bacon itself costs $1.80 - $0.90 = $0.90.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Answer. The bacon alone costs $0.90.\r\n" );
