R=residents N=nonresidents
R%2BN=586
R=586-N
12.95R%2B17.95N=9423.70
12.95%28586-N%29%2B17.95N=9423.70
7588.7%2B5N=9423.70
5N=1835
highlight%28N=367%29
R=586-N
R=586-367
highlight%28R=219%29
check
R%2BN=586
219%2B367=587
586=586Correct
12.95R%2B17.95N=9423.70
12.95%28219%29%2B17.95%28367%29=9423.70
