soda: s
\n" ); document.write( "popcorn: p
\n" ); document.write( "s = p+32
\n" ); document.write( "1.10s+0.70p = 127
\n" ); document.write( "substitute for s;
\n" ); document.write( "1.10(p+32)+0.70p = 127
\n" ); document.write( "1.80p+35.20 = 127
\n" ); document.write( "1.80p = 91.80
\n" ); document.write( "p = 51 and:
\n" ); document.write( "s = p+32 = 51+32 = 83
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Check:
\n" ); document.write( "51*0.70 = 35.70
\n" ); document.write( "83*1.10 = 91.30
\n" ); document.write( "Total . . 127 Correct \n" ); document.write( "
