\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let original amount John had be \"x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "John spent \"1%2F2\" of his money in the supermarket: so, we have \"x%2F2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F3\" in the store: so, we have \"x%2F3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "he spent total of \"x%2F2%2Bx%2F3\" and still has $\"100\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "sum of all he spent and he still have must be equal to original amount\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=x%2F2%2Bx%2F3%2B100\"....solve for \"x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x-x%2F2-x%2F3=100\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%286x-3x-2x%29%2F6=100\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2F6=100\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=600\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "John originally did have $\"600\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
