HOW TO THINK THROUGH THE PROBLEM FOR MULTIPLE CHOICE:
\n" ); document.write( "If she bought the same number of oranges at each price, then the average price she paid was
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%2845%5Ec%2B35%5Ec%29%2F2=40%5Ec\"$ per orange, so she must have bought
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%22%24+44.00%22%2F%22%24+0.40+%2F+orange%22=110\"$ $\"oranges\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "TO EXPLAIN WITH \"show your work\":
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x\"$ = number of oranges bought at each price.
\n" ); document.write( "($0.45)x + ($0.35)x = $44.00
\n" ); document.write( " $\"0.44x%2B0.35x+=+44\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%280.44%2B0.35%29x+=+44\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%280.80%29x+=+44\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=44%2F0.80\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=55\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So Jane bought a total = $\"2x=2%2A55=highlight%28110%29\"$ oranges. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
