Hi VJesus12,

We're told that A apples costs C cents. We're asked for the number of apples that can be bought for D dollars. This question can be solved by TESTing VALUES.

IF...
A=2, C=100 and D=1
Then 2 apples cost 100 cents... meaning each apple costs 1/2 dollar. By spending 1 dollar, we can buy 2 apples.
Thus, we're looking for an answer that equals 2 when we plug in A=2, C=100, D=1.
There's only one answer that matches...

Final Answer: E

Since each apple costs c/a cents, d dollars (or 100d cents) can buy (100d)/(c/a) = 100d x a/c = 100ad/c apples.

Answer: E
