\n" ); document.write( "First determine what percent Seattle's sales were of Portland's.

\n" ); document.write( "\"380000%2F265000\" = 1.43396... or 143.4%

\n" ); document.write( "And determine what percent Portland's sales were of Seattle's.

\n" ); document.write( "\"265000%2F38000\" = 0.6973... or 69.7%

\n" ); document.write( "Now answer the given questions....

\n" ); document.write( "a. 143.4%-100% = 43.4% larger

\n" ); document.write( "b. 100%-69.7% = 30.3% smaller

\n" ); document.write( "c. 69.7%
