he give a rcienti/ic rule by w hich t is worked
Here is our solution of ii: Each of the boys
Jim, Jack and Tom were given 10. 30 ami fit
bushelsof corn, respectively, by their father
and ?ach made three different soles at thre
different times ami prices as follows.
a We 1st sale was 8 bush, at 2 00. $lll 0<
" 2d ? i ir?. "i

Jack's 1st sale was 2 bushels at 2 00 $1 <K
2d ? 12 ' ' 75 0 (*
" 3d " ' 10 " " 25 1 0'
cu'.u his 30 bushels for $17 0
Tom's 1st sale was 1 bushel at 2 00$ 2 Ot>
< 2d - 5* < ? 70 $ 1 12
11 3d " " t'tl 11 2o $10 8i
" So'd his 50 bushels for $17 tKl
Hence, we see that each boy sold at th
fame time and at the same price, and enc!
ren'ized the same amount for his corn.
