\n" ); document.write( "

Let number of white sold, be W
\n" );
document.write( "Then number of yellow sold = 33 - W
\n" );
document.write( "We then get: 9.95W + 13.5(33 - W) = 374.5
\n" );
document.write( "9.95W + 445.5 - 13.5W = 374.5
\n" );
document.write( "9.95W - 13.5W = 374.5 - 445.5
\n" );
document.write( "- 3.55W = - 71
\n" );
document.write( "W, or white sold = 
\n" );
document.write( "Number of yellow sold =  \n" );
document.write( "
