Let $\"+t+\"$ = the thickness of a sheet of paper
\n" ); document.write( "The height of 500 sheets is $\"+500t+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The volume of 500 sheets is:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+7.5%2A15%2A500t+=+675+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+56250t+=+675+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+t+=+.012+\"$ in
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+500t+=+500%2A.012+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+500t+=+6+\"$ in
\n" ); document.write( "The thickness of the ream is 6 in.
