Let \"+c+\" = the cost of the item
\n" ); document.write( "\"+c+%2B+.4c+=+382.2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+1.4c+=+382.2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+c+=+273+\"
\n" ); document.write( "$273
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+382.2+-+273+=+109.2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+109.2%2F382.2+=+.2857+\"
\n" ); document.write( "28.57%
\n" ); document.write( "
