document.write( "Ali had 60% of the total number of marbles  his other 3 friends had. Cindy had 50% of the total number Ben and Daniel had. The number Ben had was 1/3  the number daniel had. If ali had 39 more marbles than daniel, how many did they have altogether. Thanks\r\n" );

document.write( "Since Ben has \"1%2F3\" Daniel's amount, Daniel then has thrice Ben's, or 3B\r\n" );
document.write( "Cindy has \"1%2F2\" of Ben and Daniel's total, and with Ben and Daniel having 4B (B + 3B), Cindy then has: \"matrix%281%2C5%2C+1%2F2%2C+of%2C+4B%2C+%22=%22%2C+2B%29\"\r\n" );

document.write( "Finally, it's said that Ali has 60% of all 3's total, or .6(Ben's + Cindy's + Daniel's), or .6(B + 2B + 3B) = .6(6B) = 3.6B\r\n" );
document.write( "It's also said that Ali has 39 more than Daniel, or 3B + 39 \r\n" );
