You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The cost for one avocado is:
+c%2Fa+ cents/avocado
------------------------
Converting dollars to cents, you have:
+100d+ cents
-------------------
In words:
( cents ) / ( cents / avocado ) = avocados
+100d+%2F+%28+c%2Fa+%29+=+%28+100a%2Ad+%29+%2F+c+
--------------------------------
check:
If
+a+=+10+
+c+=+300+
+d+=+6+
------------
Avocados that can be bought with +6+ dollars:
+%28+100%2A10%2A6+%29+%2F+300+=+6000+%2F+300+
+6000+%2F+300+=+20+
That looks right
