SIMPLE PROBLEM: A DOZEN EQQS COST $1.20. WHAT IS THE PRICE OF EACH (1) EGG.
ALGEBRAIC REPRESENTATION OF THIS PROBLEM, QUESTION IS
12E=$1.20 OR 12 EGGS = $1.20 NOW YOU NEED TO DIVIDE 12 EGGS BY 12 TO GET 1 EGG WHICH SAYS YOU NEED TO ALSO DIVIDE THE $1.20 BY 12 TO MAINTAIN A BALANCED EQUATION.
12E/12=$1.20/12
1E=$.10 OR ONE EGG EQUALS $ .10
