Mary should charge $8.0 per ounce.

From the question the herbal tea is a blend of 2 kinds of mint:

75% spearmint- $2.25

25% peppermint-$ 2.75.

The  cost of producing one ounce is:

75% spearmint- $2.25 + 25% peppermint-$ 2.75. =$5

The cost of the tea if it is to be sold 1.6 times will be calculated thus;

$5×1.6= $8.0

To get the new cost of the mint tea blend, the old cost is thus, multiplied by 1.6. This gives us the new cost of the mint tea blend.

Therefore cost per ounce will be $8.0

The diet will include <u>123.75 </u>daily grams of protein

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

One variable linear equation is an equation that has a variable and the exponent number is one.  

Can be stated in the form:  

\large{\boxed{\bold{ax=b}}

or  

ax + b = c, where a, b, and c are constants, x is a variable  

We complete the task :

A nutritionist planning a diet for a football player wants him to consume 3,500 Calories and 725 grams of food daily. Calories from fat and protein will be 45% of the total Calories. There are 4, 4, and 9 Calories per gram for protein, carbohydrates, and fat, respectively. How many daily grams of protein will the diet include?

  • 243.75
  • 481.25
  • 123.75
  • 120

Calories from fat and protein will be 45% (0.45) of the total Calories

Calories from fat and protein = 0.45 x 3500 = 1575 calories

Calories from carbohydrates = 3500 - 1575 = 1925 calories

So mass for carbohydrates = 1925 : 4(4 calories/gram) = 481.25 grams

Then mass for fat and protein = 725 - 481.25 = 243.75 grams

We can make equation for fat and protein

1. 4 calories. mass of protein(p) + 9 calories . mass of fat(f) = 1575 calories

2. mass of protein(p) + mass of fat(f) = 243.75

we can simplify :

1. 4p+9f = 1575

2. p + f = 243.75 ⇒ f = 243.75 - p

we substitute equation 2 into equation 1 :

4p + 9(243.75-p) = 1575

4p + 2193.75-9p=1575

-5p = -618.75

p = 123.75

What is the equation of the trend line?<br> Enter your answers in the boxes.<br><br> K = _J +_
MrRissso [65]
The y-intercept of the trend line is (0,28).  The slope of this line is
         28-0
m = --------- = 2
         14-0

Thus, the equation of the trend line, in variables K and J, is

K = 2J + 28

Bert and Ernie are missing each other and their friend Big Bird They want to meet at Big Bird's nest which is halfway from their
algol [13]

Answer:

The distance between Bert and Ernie's apartments from Big Bird's nest

is 21 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets change the story problem to an equation to solve the problem

- The information i the story problem is

# The Big Bird's nest is halfway from there apartments

# The distance between Bert's apartment and Big Bird's nest is (5x + 4)

# The distance between Ernie's apartment and Big Bird's nest is (15x - 30)

* Now lets solve

∵ The Big Bird's nest is halfway from there apartments

∴ The distance between Bert's apartment and Big Bird's nest = The

   distance between Ernie's apartment and Big Bird's nest

∴ 5x + 4 = 15x - 30

- Collect the variable terms in one side and the numerical terms

 in th other side

∴ 15x - 5x = 30 + 4 ⇒ add

∴ 10x = 34

∴ x = 34 ÷ 10 = 3.4

* Now lets find the distance between Bert and Ernie's apartments

from the Big Bird's nest

- We can use any relation to find the distance

∵ The distance = 5x + 4

∵ x = 3.4

∴ The distance = 5(3.4) + 4 = 17 + 4 = 21 miles

You can check the answer by using second equation

∵ The distance = 15x - 30

∵ x = 3.4

∴ The distance = 15(3.4) - 30 = 51 - 30 = 21 miles

Use the following problem to answer the question below:
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

m∠ABD = m∠CBE ⇒ by subtracting a common angle from the given angles

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ m∠ABE = m∠CBD

∵ m∠ABD = m∠ABD + m∠DBE

∵ m∠CBD = m∠CBE + m∠EBD

∵ ∠EBD is common angle between them

∴ m∠ABD = m∠CBE
