Answer:
d = 0.0175n ---> required equation
Billy can buy 285.714 gram nut with $5
Step-by-step explanation:
cost of 100g loose nut = $1.75
dividing LHS and RHS by 100
cost of 100/100g loose nut = $1.75
Thus, cost of 1 gm loose nut = $0.0175
let the weight of loose nut be n gm
Multiplying LHS and RHS by n
cost of x g loose nut = $0.0175*n = $0.0175n
It is given that Billy spent d dollars to buy n gm nuts
thus,
d = 0.0175n ---> required equation
________________________________________________
He spent $5 to buy nuts
substituting value of d as 5 we have
0.0175n = 5
=>n = 5/0.0175 = 285.714
Thus, Billy can buy 285.714 gram nut with $5.
