Jason started with M amount of money.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "First spent for the CD, \"M%2F5\".
\n" ); document.write( "His remaining amount of money, \"4M%2F5\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Last spent \"2M%2F5\" for gift to sister.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Expression for total cost, \"M%2F5%2B2M%2F5=3M%2F5\";
\n" ); document.write( "this total cost was $35.30.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Easy enough to find M, if wanted;
\n" ); document.write( "\"3M%2F5=35.3\"
\n" ); document.write( "while the question means, find \"M%2F5\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3M%2F5=35.3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"M%2F5=35.3%2F3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"M%2F5=highlight%2811.77%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "
