Let $\"+p+\"$ = the original price of the shirt
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+.8p+\"$ = the sale price of the shirt
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+.8p+=+p+-+5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+.2p+=+5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+p+=+5%2F.2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+p+=+25+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+.8p+=+.8%2A25+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+.8p+=+20+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The original price was $25
\n" ); document.write( "Salena paid $20
