For this case we have,
- store 1:
3/4 of a bushel of apples -----------------------> $ 9
1 bushel of apples -------------------------------> x
From here the value of x is cleared, resulting in:
- store 2:
2/3 of a bushel of apples -----------------------> $ 9
1 bushel of apples -------------------------------> x
From here the value of x is cleared, resulting in:
