document.write( "1.  The labor costs 1/3 of the material cost; and the labor costs $15.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    Hence, the material cost 3 times $15, i.e. 45 dollars.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "2.  The material costs 5/8 of the total cost;  from the other side, it costs $45.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    Hence,  1/8 of the total cost is 1/5 of $45, i.e. $9.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    Then the total cost of the web-camera is 8 times $9, i.e.  8*9 = 72 dollars.\r\n" );
