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

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>.

Maya spent her allowance on playing an arcade game a few times and riding the Ferris wheel more than once.
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

To write a two-variable equation, I would first need to know how much Maya’s allowance was. Then, I would need the cost of playing the arcade game and of riding the Ferris wheel. I could let the equation be cost of playing the arcade games plus cost of riding the Ferris wheel equals the total allowance. My variables would represent the number of times Maya played the arcade game and the number of times she rode the Ferris wheel. With this equation I could solve for how many times she rode the Ferris wheel given the number of times she played the arcade game.
