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
1.) 1 ÷ 4 =0.25 + 9= 9.25
2.) 9.25 + 5.00 = 14.25
Answer:
23
Step-by-step explanation:
Is what I would say
6x+2x=222, which means 8x=222. Thus, x=222/8, which is 27.75.
Answer:
m = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
3m= 5(m + 3)-3
Distribute
3m = 5m +15 -3
Combine like terms
3m = 5m +12
Subtract 5m
3m-5m = 5m+12-5m
-2m = 12
Divide by -2
-2m/-2 = 12/-2
m = -6
