I guess what they are saying is:
\n" ); document.write( "[ old fare ] / [ new fare ] = 7/9 }}}
\n" ); document.write( "(i)
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+245+%2F+x+=+7%2F9+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by $\"+9x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+9%2A245+=+7x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+2205%2F7+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+315+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+315+-+245+=+70+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The increase is $70
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(ii)
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x%2F207+=+7%2F9+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+9x+=+7%2A207+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+9x+=+1449+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+161+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+207+-+161+=+46+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The increase is $46\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
