You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You can use proportions to solve this problem:
\n" ); document.write( "Let y = the number of onions in question, then you can write the proportion:
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2Fr+=+y%2F100d\" You must write 100d to convert the dollars (d) into cents. Multiply both sides by 100d to get:
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28100dx%2Fr+=+y%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "So answer d) is the best choice.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
