Answer:  \frac{306}{65} pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x pounds of $ 0.66 per lb candies mixed with y pounds of $ 1.31 per lb candies to obtain 9 lb of $ 0.97 per lb candies,

Hence, we can write,

x + y = 9 ------- (1)

And, 0.66 of x + 1.31 of y = 0.97 of (x + y)

⇒ 66 x + 131 y = 97 (x+y)

⇒ 66 x +131 y - 97 x - 97 y = 0

⇒ -31 x + 34 y = 0  ------(2)

By solving equation (1) and (2)

We get,

x=\frac{306}{65} and y=\frac{279}{65}

Hence, the quantity of 0.66 per lb candies = \frac{306}{65}  pounds

Scrat [10]

Answer:

Number of $10 bills = 2

Number of $5 bills = 3

Number of $1 bills  = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total amount = $40

Number of $10 bills = x

Number of $5 bills = x + 1

Number of $1 bills = x + 1 + 2 = x + 3

Find:

Number of each bills

Computation:

10(x) + 5(x+1) + 1(x+3) = 40

10x + 5x + 5 + x + 3 = 40

16x = 32

x = 2

Number of $10 bills = x = 2

Number of $5 bills = x + 1 = 3

Number of $1 bills  = x + 3 = 5
