Let $\"p\"$ = the original price/dozen of apples
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( " $\".25p\"$ = purchaser's savings after reduction
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(savings)*(dozens bought) = amount spent
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28.25p%29%2A2+=+20\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\".5p+=+20\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"p+=+40\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The reduced price/dozen is $\"p+-+.25p\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"p+-+.25p+=+40+-+10\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"40-+10+=+30\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The reduced price/dozen is $30
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
