\n" ); document.write( "x = number of townhomes
\n" ); document.write( "1.5x = number of single-family homes since they sell 1.5 times more often compared to townhomes\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "230,000x = amount of money made from selling the townhomes
\n" ); document.write( "260,000*1.5x = 390,000x = amount of money made from selling the single-family homes\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The two subtotals add to $16,000,000
\n" ); document.write( "230,000x+390,000x = 16,000,000
\n" ); document.write( "(230,000+390,000)x = 16,000,000
\n" ); document.write( "620,000x = 16,000,000
\n" ); document.write( "x = (16,000,000)/(620,000)
\n" ); document.write( "x = 25.806 approximately\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The fact we don't get a whole number for x seems to suggest that there might be a typo in one (or more) of the numbers in the question.
