ALEXIA: Mr Watson,
TEACHER: Yes, ALEXIA.
ALEXIA: Can I go to the ladies room please?

TEACHER: Test tomorrow, let’s review. Any volunteers?
Haley in ALEXIA:’s body: Yuhu.
TEACHER: ALEXIA:, do you thing you could learn to use the ladies room before you come to class?
HALEY in ALEXIA:’s body: No, I want to try it please.
TEACHER: Try the problem?
ALEXIA: in Haley’s body: You heard her.
TEACHER: Ok, let’s see. A cleaning solution is made up of three chemicals. A, B, and C (Haley writes A,B, and C on the blackboard) So far so good. There are equal amounts of A and B (Haley writes B=A) and four times as much C as there is A (writes C=4A). What percentage of the bottle is full of C. You think you can walk us through this ALEXIA:?
HALEY: Ok, B equals A and C equals four A. Therefore A+A+4A equals 6 A, Therefore your percentage is four A over six A, the As cross out, four six is converted to two thirds. Therefore, the percentage is 66.6%.
TEACHER: Ok, ok. Yeah, anyone agree?
ALEXIA: I definitely agree.

HALEY: Ok, well pretend it’s not paint. Say instead it’s perfume.
ALEXIA: Chanel.
HALEY: Ok.
ALEXIA: Ok. Perfume bottle is filled with three different fragments. …A, B, and C. So,
HALEY: So x equals…
ALEXIA: 300?
