I have some tongs to flip them over, and a refill if you need it...

If 1A+2B=3C then how many lottery tickets will Jerome need to win to buy a 40 ounce at the corner store???
But only using the welfare EBT card money he store from his momma...
What’s “X” (the conversion factor for cash from EBT)?
BTW, your question reminds me of some of the math that cross-border (Canada-U.S) booze shoppers had to know (in the days before Metric hit us).
A U.S. 40 ouncer = 1 (Imperial) quart.
A U.S. fifth = a 26er
Six U.S. pints = 5 Canadian pints
Six U.S. pints of beer = 5 Canadian pints of dishwater. (That was back before the craft beer revolution.)
;-)
I should not have posted that...Algebra, or a facsimile thereof should not be posted while slightly snokker’d...
And to think I used to like math...hehe
