document.write( "MEAT         PRICEperpound       QUANTITY       COST\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "STEAK           p+5               12           12(p+5)\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Grd. BEEF       p                 30           30p\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "TOTAL                                          82\r\n" );
