\n" );
document.write( "(a)\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "The details...\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "Old rate + raise = new rate
\n" );
document.write( "11.50 + 1.25 = 12.75\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "Say the clerk works 1hr at the new rate, that's 12.75 earned
\n" );
document.write( "IF the clerk works 2hrs at the new rate, that's 12.75+12.75 or 2*12.75 earned
\n" );
document.write( "For h hours worked, the clerk earns h*12.75 or 12.75h \n" );
document.write( "
