If still to be packaged in fifty-pound bags, then the denominator unit for price is BAG.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x for the number of bags of cheap fertilizer
\n" ); document.write( "y for number of bags of better fertilizer\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"system%28%284x%2B26y%29%2F11=22%2Cx%2By=11%29\" ------this system accounts for price and number of bags.\r
