In 1955, it cost $12 to purchase one hundred pounds of potatoes. In 1975, it cost $34 to purchase one hundred pounds of potatoes. The price of one hundred pounds of potatoes increased X dollars between 1955 and 1975 with X equal to:

(A) 1.20
(B) 2.20
(C) 3.40
(D) 22
(E) 34

We can create the following equation:

12 + X = 34

X = 22

Answer: D
