Joey spends a certain sum of money to by a number of jars of jam. If he had been able to buy nine more jars for the same amount of money, the jars would have each cost $3 less. If he had purchased three jars fewer for the same amount of money, the jars would have each cost $3 more. How many jars did he buy?
(b. addition: why does joey need so much jam? lots of thumbprint cookies ahead for him?)
