Amount withdrawn and spent: 720 + 163 + 37 = $920\r\n" );
document.write( "With $920 being 25% of his savings, and R being the REMAINDER (75% or .75) in the bank after the \r\n" );
document.write( "withdrawal, we get the following PROPORTION: \r\n" );
document.write( "                                             .01R = .03(920) ------ Cross-multiplying\r\n" );
document.write( "REMAINDER in the bank after the withdrawal, or \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Now, since after  of his salary was deposited, he had $4,680, then  of his salary is: $4,680 - 2,760 = $1,920\r\n" );
document.write( "With $1,920 being  of his salary, and S being his salary, we get the following\r\n" );
document.write( "PROPORTION: \r\n" );
document.write( "            .4S = 1,920 ------ Cross-multiplying\r\n" );
document.write( "  Salary, or \r\n" );
