Let:

x = Pounds of walnuts in the mix.

Each pound of walnuts costs $0.80. thus x pounds of walnuts cost 0.8x dollars.

Each pound of cashews costs $1.25 and the mix will contain 8 pounds of cashews, so the cost is 8*$1.25 = $10

The total cost of the mix is, therefore: 0.8x + 10 dollars.

We are also given the pound of mix costs $1.00 and we have a total of 8 + x pounds, so the total cost of the mix is 1*(8 + x) dollars.

Equating both costs:

0.8x + 10 = 1*(8 + x)

Operating:

0.8x + 10 = 8 + x

Subtracting x and 10:

0.8x - x = 8 - 10

Simplifying:

-0.2x = -2

Dividing by -0.2:

x = -2/(-0.2)

x = 10

Answer: 10 pounds

Mariulka [41]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  B, F

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume is the product of the dimensions:

  V = LWH

  V = (b^2)(3c^2)(2c^1) = (3·2)(b^2)(c^(2+1))

  V = 6b^2·c^3 . . . . . matches B

__

For b=3 and c=2, the volume is ...

  V = 6(3^2)(2^3) = 6(9)(8)

  V = 432 . . . . cubic inches . . . . matches F
