First assign the variable n.
\n" ); document.write( "number of mg of vitamin c in an apple:n
\n" ); document.write( "number of mg of vitamin c in an orange is 10 times the apple(the apple has n):10n (10n =10 times n)
\n" ); document.write( "They also tell us that the orange has 80 mg of vitamin c:80
\n" ); document.write( "Notice that the vitamin c in an orange is 10n and 80. They are equal to each other.
\n" ); document.write( "10n=80
\n" ); document.write( "10n/10=80/10 divide both sides by 10
\n" ); document.write( "n=8 simplify
\n" ); document.write( "This means that the apple has 8 mg of vitamin C. Don't forget that when you're dealing with word problems you need to make sure that you answer the question with the appropriate units.
