You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Sold 25 limes for 0.25 dollar per lime and this revenue was $\"0.25%2A25=highlight_green%286.25%29\"$ dollars.
\n" ); document.write( "No real loss here. The profit was $\"6.25-4.50=highlight%281.75%29\"$ dollars.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You could check what the revenue would have been if he sold all thirty limes at that same price.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"30%2A0.25=highlight_green%287.5%29\"$ dollars for a hypothetical loss of $\"6.25-7.50=highlight_green%28-1.25%29\"$ dollars.\r
