\n" ); document.write( "You're standing in a line-up at the movie theatre. If 40% of the people in line are in front of you
\n" ); document.write( "and 584% of the people in the line are behind you, then the total number of people in the queue is \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a) 36 b) 60 c) 99 d) 100e) 167
\n" ); document.write( "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "584%  is  TOOOOOOOOOOOOO  much.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "If the correct number is 58.4% then the solution is as follows.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Let x be the number of people in the line.\r\n" );

document.write( "From the given part, we have this equation\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    0.4x + 1 + 0.584x = x,\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "or\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    1 = x - 0.4x - 0.584x\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    1 = (1-0.4-0.584)x\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    1 = 0.016x\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    x = \"1%2F0.016\" = 62.5 persons in the line.\r\n" );
