Something seems wrong with the wording. If you mean twice as many women as men, then could use
\n" ); document.write( "men, x
\n" ); document.write( "women, 2x
\n" ); document.write( "total participants, 3x\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"7.5x%2B5%282x%29=3850\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"17.5x=3850\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=220\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You want three times that, so 660 people gave in the fund raiser. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
