I'll give this a try
\n" ); document.write( "I think the best way is to say:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+y+\" = amount Dauda earns
\n" ); document.write( "\"+y%2F2+\" = amount Obi earns
\n" ); document.write( "\"+3%2A%28+y%2F2+%29+\" = amount Chidi earns
\n" ); document.write( "\"+y+%2B+y%2F2+%2B+3%2A%28+y%2F2+%29+-+250+\" = amount Wale earns
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+y+%2B+4%2A%28+y%2F2+%29+-+250+%3E+4300+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+3y+-+250+%3E+4300+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+3y+%3E+4550+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+y+%3E+1516.67+\"
\n" ); document.write( "In order to be greater than 1516.67, then
\n" ); document.write( "y must be at least 1516.68
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Hope I got it. Feel free to get another opinion on this
