You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let $M be the cost of each muffin.
\n" ); document.write( "The total cost is $1.25
\n" ); document.write( "Hence, cost of a glass of milk = 1.25 - M
\n" ); document.write( "The required inequality is
\n" ); document.write( "1.25 - M < (2/3) * M \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
