document.write( "Let x be the number of those who failed.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then the number of those who passed is 5x.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The condition says  that  x + 5x = 402,  or  6x = 402  ====>  x =  = 67.\r\n" );
