\n" ); document.write( "x = cost of cleats
\n" ); document.write( "(3/5)x = cost of glove (three-fifths the cost of the cleats)
\n" ); document.write( "(1/6)(3/5)x = (1/10)x = cost of hat (one-sixth the cost of the glove)

\n" ); document.write( "(original amount) minus (cost of items bought) = (money left)

\n" ); document.write( "\"184.00+-+%28x%2B%283%2F5%29x%2B%281%2F10%29x%29+=+39.50\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"184.00-39.50+=+%28x%2B%283%2F5%29x%2B%281%2F10%29x%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"144.50+=+%2817%2F10%29x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+144.50%2F%2817%2F10%29+=+85\"

\n" ); document.write( "cleats: x = $85.00
\n" ); document.write( "glove: (3/5)x = $51.00
\n" ); document.write( "hat: (1/10)x = $8.50

\n" ); document.write( "CHECK:
\n" ); document.write( "$85+$51+$8.50 $144.50
\n" ); document.write( "$184.00-$144.50 = $39.50

\n" ); document.write( "
