\n" ); document.write( "Mrs Robinson bought some chocolates and lollipops in the ratio of 7 to 4. The price of all the chocolates to the price of all the lollipops was in the ratio of 5 to 2. If each lollipop cost 15c less than each chocolate how many lollipops did she buy.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
This sentence is troubling:
\n" ); document.write( "The price of all the chocolates to the price of all the lollipops was in the ratio of 5 to 2. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "One might have to assume you really mean, \"cost\" and not \"price\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "                   PRICE(cents)     AMOUNT          COSTS\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "CHOCOLATES          5y/(7x)           7x             5y\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "LOLLIPOPS           2y/(4x)           4x             2y\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "DIFFERENCE           15\r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "One useful equation would be \"%285y%29%2F%287x%29-y%2F%282x%29=15\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Maybe want to change the form using \"14x\";\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"10y-7y=210x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3y=210x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=70x\"--------------Can you find some whole numbered solution? More than one solution, as whole numbers?\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Something still seems off here.
