The price was increased from 80 dollars to 80+80/5 so became 80+16, or 96 dollars.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The employee was given a 10% discount on the 96 dollars, so he paid 90% of the 96 dollars
\n" ); document.write( "or 0.9*96, which is 86.4 dollars. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
