\r\n" );
document.write( "1.  Let x be the sum of money (the value under the problem's question, now unknown.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    Then 120% of the sum of money is  ,  or  1.2x.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    So, you have this equation\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "        1.2x = 8400.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    Solve it by dividing both sides by 1.2.  You will get\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "           x =  = 7000.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    ANSWER.  The sum of money is  R7000.\r\n" );

document.write( "2.  This problem is even simpler than part (1) - - - because in this case you do not need solve any equation.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    The statement  \"55% of Alice chocolate is sugar. The chocolate bar has a mass of 130g\"  means that\r\n" );

document.write( "        the amount of sugar is 0.55*130 = 71.5 grams.\r\n" );
