You can put this solution on YOUR website! Melanie bought t things for d dollars.
Each item cost d/t dollars
-----------------------
If the price was increased k dollars per item
New price per item would be (d/t)+k
-------
How many items could Melanie by for 50 dollars?
# of items = (50 dollars)/[(d/t)+k]
= 50/[(d+tk)/t]
---
= 50t/(d+tk)
