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

F(x) = -2x²-2x+10, find f(2)
beks73 [17]

Answer:

f(2) = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute 2 everywhere you see an x so f(2) = -2(2^{2}) - 2(2) + 10 so

f(2) = -2(4) - 4 + 10, so f(2) = -8-4+10, f(2) = -12+10, f(2) = -2

Please help

First, we're going to see the candies per minute that machine C packs.
150 / 2 = 75

Now that we know that machine C packs 75 candies per minute, we're going to multiply the candies machine C makes by 11 minutes.
75 x 11 = 825

We're now gonna do the same with machine D.
130 x 11 = 1430

Then we're going to find the difference between machine C and machine D, we do this because the question basically asks how much more candies can machine D pack than machine C.
1430 - 825 = 605 candies.

This is how we find our final answer.

Our answer would be D) 605.

Hope this helps!~
