\n" ); document.write( "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "20% of 600 is 0.2*600 = 120.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, 120 biscuits were stolen and 600 - 120 = 480 were sold at  10 for  £25.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So, the trader collected \"%28480%2F10%29%2A25\" =  £1200.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "He gained  £1200 - £1000 =  £200.\r\n" );
