\n" ); document.write( "Elliot collects \"+1.2x+\" shells
\n" ); document.write( "Ryan collects \"+1.4x+\" shells
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "If I say:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+1.4x+=+%28+1+%2B+k+%29%2Ax+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+k+\" tells me the decimal that left side
\n" ); document.write( "exceeds the right side by
\n" ); document.write( "\"+1+%2B+k+=+1.4+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+k+=+.4+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.4%2A100+=+40+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Ryan collected 40% more shells than Andrew
