A grocery store bought some mangoes at a rate of 5 for a dollar. They were separated into two stacks, one of which was sold at a

rate of 3 for a dollar and the other at a rate of 6 for a dollar. What was the ratio of the number of mangoes in the two stacks if the store broke even after having sold all of its mangoes?

Answer:

The ratio of the number of mangoes in the $3 stack to those in the $6 stack is 1 : 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of mangoes bought by the grocery store be n. Also let the number of mango sold for $3 in one stack be x and the number of mango sold for $6 in the second stack be y.

Therefore:

x + y = z                                  (1)

Also, the mangoes was sold at break even price, that is the cost of the mango and the price it was sold for was the same. Therefore:

Cost of buying = Price it was sold for

The cost of the mango = 5z and the price it was sold for = 3x + 6y

3x + 6y = 5z                            (2)

Substituting z = x + y in equation 1

3x + 6y = 5(x + y)

3x + 6y = 5x + 5y

6y - 5y = 5x - 3x

y = 2x

x / y = 1/ 2 = 1 : 2

The ratio of the number of mangoes in the $3 stack to those in the $6 stack is 1 : 2

A shipping service restricts the dimensions of the boxes it will ship for a certain type of service.
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Then the answer is option a  

a. 0<x \leq10

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter + height is less than 130 inches.

If height is 60 inches.then perimeter left is 70 inches.

If perimeter was more than 70 inches then perimeter 60 more than the height would be more than 130.

perimeter of rectangle is

It has two widths and two lengths because that's what rectangles do.

width of base "x"

Then the length is 2.5x

perimeter = 2 width + 2 length

= 2(x) + 2(2.5x)

= 2x + 5x

= 7x

but perimeter can't be more than 70 inches.

So x can't be more than 10 inches because if x was more than 10 inches, then 7x which is perimeter would be more than 70 inches.

2x + 2(2.5x) + 60 \leq  130

7x + 60 ≤ 130

7x ≤ 70

x ≤ 10

Then the answer is option a  

a. 0<x≤10
