title: cheerio selector for first nested html element
body: <p>This Meteor server side code is trying to get the amount 77 which is in this html string but my selector is returning empty object. How can I get 77 out of this html? Thanks</p>
  
  
  
  <pre class="lang-js prettyprint-override"><code>$('select[name=paid] option').data();
  </code></pre>
  
  <pre class="lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;td class="displayValue"&gt;
  
              &lt;select name="paid" id="paidId"&gt;&lt;option value="77.00" selected="selected"&gt;77.00&lt;/option&gt;
  
  
                &lt;option value="Other"&gt;Other&lt;/option&gt;&lt;/select&gt;
  
        &lt;/td&gt;
