Pencils sell at D dollars for 1 dozen. At this price, what would be the total cost of M pencils?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "D dollars per dozen-----That means that they sell for D/12 dollars per pencil\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If one pencil costs D/12 dollars, then M pencils must cost (D/12)*M dollars\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the answer is: (D*M/12)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "ck \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Lets say D=24 dollars
\n" ); document.write( "And M=10\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "24 dollars per dozen equals 24/12 or $2 per pencil\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then 10 pencils would cost 2(10) or $20\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "D*M/12=(24*10)/12=240/12=$20 At least it works for these numbers\r
