Two women had 80 chickens each,
which they took to market. They
agreed to divide equally the proceeds
of their SALE.
One sold her chickens 2 for dollar,
getting for her SO chickens SIS.
The other sold hers for q dollar,
getting for her so chickens SO.
This ntade $25 realized for the 60
chickens.
The merchant called on to divide the
money, said:
ssYou sold your 80 chickens 2 for a
