You are volunteering to help with the soccer team's Valentine's Day fundraiser. Each 16-ounce bag of nuts the team sold must inc

lude at least 60% chocolate-covered nuts inside.
However, instead of receiving a shipment of separated plain nuts and chocolate nuts, they delivered two large containers of mixed nuts. The first says it is 50/50 plain and chocolate covered. The second contains 80% chocolate-covered nuts.

The team is dismayed, but you come up with a solution. You suggest combining

ounces* of the 50/50 nuts with

ounces* of the 80% chocolate-covered nuts, to create the 60% mixture required for each bag.

*estimate

Then Bob, another student on the team says, "Wait, we promised at least 60%. So if we just do half and half, won't we be giving them at least 60%?"

Bob

correct.

Proportionately, if they do half and half of 50% and 80% of the two bags, <u>Bob is correct</u>.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a mathematical measure that compares two variables or numbers.

Proportions can be stated in percentages or ratios, as decimals or fractions.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Content of 16-ounce bag of nuts = 60% chocolate-covered nuts

Content of first bag = 50/50 plain and chocolate-covered nuts

Content of second bag = 80% chocolate-covered nuts

A mixture of half of 50% bag with half of 80% bag will result in 65% (50% + 80%)/2.

Thus, since the promise for each 16-ounce bag is for at least 60% chocolate-covered nuts, <u>Bob is correct</u>.
