\n" ); document.write( "The price of a pair of sneakers was $130 for the last 10 months of last year. On
\n" ); document.write( "January first, the price increased 20%. After the price increase, an employee
\n" ); document.write( "bought these sneakers with a 11% employee discount. What price did the employee
\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( ">>The price of a pair of sneakers was $130 for the last 10 months of last year.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So at the start the pair of sneakers cost $130.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( ">>On January first, the price increased 20%. \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "20% of $130 is 0.20 x $130 = $26, so it increased to $130+$26 = $156\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( ">>After the price increase, an employee bought these sneakers with a 11% employee discount. \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "11% of $156 is 0.11 x $156 = $17.16, so the employee got it $17.16 cheaper than $156,\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So the employee paid $156 - $17.16 or $138.84\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Now do yours the same way.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
