You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let \"+x+\" = the number of pounds that you buy
\n" ); document.write( "Let C = the total cost of watermelon bought
\n" ); document.write( "\"+C+=+.49%2A25+%2B+%28+x+-+25+%29%2A%28+.49+-+.15%2A.49+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+C+=+.49%2A25+%2B+%28+x+-+25+%29%2A%28+.85%2A.49+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+C+=+12.25+%2B+.4165%2A%28+x+-+25+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+C+=+.4165x+%2B+12.25+-+10.4125+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+C+=+.4165x+%2B+1.8375+\"
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "check answer
\n" ); document.write( "If you buy 25 pounds:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+C+=+.4165%2A25+%2B+1.8375+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+C+=+10.4125+%2B+1.8375+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+C+=+12.25+\"
\n" ); document.write( "which is the same as no discount
\n" ); document.write( "\"+C+=+.49%2A25+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+C+=+12.25+\"
\n" ); document.write( "OK
