\n" ); document.write( "Ben earns 20c for every card he sells. When he sells a whole box of 12 cards he earns an extra $2.
\n" ); document.write( "How many cards does he need to sell to earn $332.
\n" ); document.write( "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "According to the problem, Ben earns 12*20 cents PLUS 2 dollars = 4.40 dollars for every box of 12 cards sold.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So we divide  $332  by  $4.40  to get  \"332%2F4.40\" = 75.4545...\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "We round this value to the closest integer number, which is less than 75.4545..\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "This value is 75, which means that Ben should sell 75 boxes.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "He will earn then  $4.40*75 = $330.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So, Ben should sell 75 boxes of 12 cards each  PLUS  10 additional separate cards.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The total number of card sold is then  75*12 + 10 = 910.     ANSWER\r\n" );
