The way to start is to assign a variable to cost or price for apples Celia bought. Work through a transcription of symbolism from all of that.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "v, cost of the 12 apples
\n" ); document.write( "v/12, PRICE paid per apple;
\n" ); document.write( "She sold 10 apples at $\"v%2F12%2B0.20\"$ dollars per apple.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "She paid v dollars.
\n" ); document.write( "She took revenue of $\"10%28v%2F12%2B0.2%29\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "Her profit was 1 dollar.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%2810%28v%2F12%2B0.20%29-v=1%29\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "That means, the difference between revenue and cost is profit. Solving first for v will allow you to compute the price at which she sold her remaining 10 apples. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
