\n" ); document.write( "A quick informal solution method....

\n" ); document.write( "If all 150 boxes were standard, the cost would have been $450.
\n" ); document.write( "The actual total cost was $645, which is $195 more.
\n" ); document.write( "The difference in price between the two kinds of boxes is $3.
\n" ); document.write( "So the number of deluxe boxes sold was 195/3 = 65.

\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: 65 deluxe boxes; 150-65 = 85 standard boxes
