Let p = weight of papaya and g = weight of grapes.

Then (3/4)g = (3/5)p.  Since the weight of grapes is x + 28, 

(3/4)(x + 28) = (3/5)p.  We must solve for x.  To do this, mult. both sides by (5/3):

(5/3)(3/4)(x+28) = (5/3)(3/5)p

Then p = (15/9)(x+28), or (after reduction), p = (5/3)(x+28).

Felipe is planning a party. He has $50.00 to spend on sandwiches that cost $2.50 per person, $25.00 to spend on drinks that cost
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Its B

Step-by-step explanation:

In all, he has $100 to spend since $50+$25+$25=$100. We have x people coming and he has to spend $2.50, $1.50, and $3.00 per person, respectively. The phrase "per person" indicates we must multiply, so we have to multiply each value by "x." To find out how much money he has left, we must subtract. All of this put together is 100-(2.50x+1.50x+3.00x). Add the like terms and you get 7x. Your final expression would be 100-7x, which is answer choice b.

1 lemon to 2 waters will be proportional to what he Brandon needs so:

1 lemon / 2 water = x lemon / 12 water

Multiply by 12
And you get (1/2)*12 which is 6=x lemons

He needs 6 cups of lemons
