Let \"+x+\" = the amount that he
\n" ); document.write( "started with
\n" ); document.write( "After spending $550 on food & clothes,
\n" ); document.write( "he has \"+x-550+\" left
\n" ); document.write( "Then he gave \"+.4%2A%28+x+-+550+%29+\" to Janet
\n" ); document.write( "That means he has \"+.6%2A%28+x+-+550+%29+\" left for himself
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Then you are told that:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.6%2A%28+x+-+550+%29+=+.3x+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.6x+-+363+=+.3x+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.3x+=+363+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+1210+\"
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "He gave Janet \"+.4%2A%28+x+-+550+%29+=+.4%2A%28+1210+-+550+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.4%2A%28+x+-+550+%29+=+.4%2A660+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.4%2A660+=+264+\"
\n" ); document.write( "He gave $264 to Janet
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "check answer:
\n" ); document.write( "He started with $1210
\n" ); document.write( "He had \"+1210+-+550+=+660+\" after food & clothes
\n" ); document.write( "\"+550+-+264+=+286+\"
\n" ); document.write( "He had $286 left after giving $264 to Janet
\n" ); document.write( "and \"+.3%2A1210+=+286+\"
\n" ); document.write( "OK\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
