\n" ); document.write( "If the amount he has saved is x, then 25% of x is $5500. So
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5500+=+0.25x\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+5500%2F0.25\"$

\n" ); document.write( "You can do the arithmetic.

\n" ); document.write( "Note the calculation is much easier if you recognize that 25% is one-fourth. Then the calculation is

\n" ); document.write( " $\"5500+=+x%2F4\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+4%2A5500\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
