The amount of cashew mixed is 5 pounds

<h3>Word problem on total cost</h3>

Cost of 1 pound of cashew = $14

Cost of 1 pound of peanut = $6.50

Total cost of 1 pound of the mixed nuts = $10.25

Cost of 5 pounds of peanuts = 5 x $6.50

Cost of 5 pounds of peanuts = $32.50

Let the amount of cashew  be x

Total cost of x cashew = 14x

Total amount of the mixed nuts = x + 5

Total cost of the mixed nuts = 10.25(x+5)

Total cost of the mixed nuts = 10.25x + 51.25

14x  +  32.50  =  10.25x  +  51.25

14x - 10.25x  =  51.25  -  32.50

3.75x  =  18.75

x  =  18.75/3.75

x  =  5

Therefore, the amount of cashew mixed is 5 pounds

QUESTION 20
atroni [7]

.Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The patient loses 1 kg every week for 5 weeks.

1 kg = 2.2 lbs

Therefore the patient loses 2.2 lbs every week for 5 weeks.

a) The weight of the patient after 5 weeks = 245 lbs. - (5 weeks)(2.2 lbs per week)

The weight of the patient after 5 weeks = 245 lbs. - 11 lbs. = 234 lbs.

b) The weight of the patient after 5 weeks = 245 lbs. - 11 lbs. = 234 lbs.

1 kg = 2.2 lbs.

234 lbs. = 234 lbs. * 1 kg per 2.2 lbs. = 106.36 kg

Niu has decorated x cards. He started with 24 stickers, and he used 4 stickers per card. Which expressions can we use to describ
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

24-4x

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Niu has decorated x cards. He started with 24 stickers and he used 4 stickers per card. So stickers used in x cards will be 4x.

As initial number of stickers was 24, so we can find number of stickers left after decorating x cards by subtracting number of stickers used in x cards from 24.

\text{Number of stickers that Niu has left}=24-4x

Therefore, the expression 24-4x will represent the number of stickers that Niu has left after decorating x cards.
