Celia bought 12 apples, ate two of them, and sold the rest at .20 more per apple than she paid. Her total profit was $1.00. How much did she sell each apple for?
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let her buying price be \"x\" cents per apple.
\n" ); document.write( "Then her selling price is \"x+20\" cents per apple.
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "12 apple Buying price = 12x cents
\n" ); document.write( "10 apple Selling price = 10(x+20)
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "selling price - buying price = 100 cents
\n" ); document.write( "10(x+20) - 12x = 100
\n" ); document.write( "10x + 200 -12x = 100
\n" ); document.write( "-2x = -100
\n" ); document.write( "x = 50 cents (buying price per apple)
\n" ); document.write( "x+20 = 70 cents (selling price per apple)
\n" ); document.write( "===============================================
