\n" ); document.write( "in a market,the price of grades A eggs B eggs and C eggs are in the ratio 7:5:4 respectively.Nicole was given some money to buy 2 each of grades A & B eggs.

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "            I will assume that the question states that she buys 4 grade C eggs
\n" ); document.write( "                 (to support total number of eggs unchangeable: 2 + 2 = 4 eggs).\r
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "The prices of eggs are 7x (grade A), 5x (grade B), and 4x (grade C).\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So, if Nicole buys 2 each of grades A and B, then the total money she spends is  2*(7x+5x) = 2*12x = 24x.\r\n" );
