document.write( "At a bakery the ratio of the number of lotus paste mooncakes to red bean paste\r\n" );
document.write( "mooncakes was 3 to 1.\r\n" );
document.write( "So there were \"3k\" LP cakes and \"1k\" RB mooncakes and \"3k%2B1k\"\"%22%22=%22%22\"\"4k\" mooncakes to begin with. \r\n" );
document.write( "The shop sold half of the total number of mooncakes.\r\n" );
document.write( "So they sold \"%281%2F2%29%284k%29\"\"%22%22=%22%22\"\"2k\" mooncakes\r\n" );
document.write( "Out of the mooncakes sold, 5/6 were lotus paste.\r\n" );
document.write( "So \"%285%2F6%29%282k%29\"\"%22%22=%22%22\"\"%285k%29%2F3\" LP's were sold and \"2k-%285k%29%2F3\"\"%22%22=%22%22\"\"%281k%29%2F3\" RB were sold.\r\n" );
