Let \"+p+\" = the price of table before markup
\n" ); document.write( "or markdown
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+p+%2B+45+=+105+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+p+=+60+\"
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The table sold for $85
\n" ); document.write( "The amount of the profit was \"+85+-+60+=+25+\"
\n" ); document.write( "As a percent of the starting price:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+25%2F60+%29%2A100+=+2500%2F60+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2500%2F60+=+41.667+\"
\n" ); document.write( "41 and 2/3 percent profit
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
