A nut mixture of almonds and macadamia nuts at a small fair is $1.00 per pound of almonds and $5.93 per pound of macadamia nuts.

Over the entire day, 102 pounds of the nut mixture were sold for $452.03. If p is the number almonds and n is the number of macadamia nuts, then the system of equations that models this scenario is: p+n=102p+5.93n=452.03p+n=102p+5.93n=452.03 Determine the correct description and amount of pounds for almonds and macadamia nuts that were sold

Total pounds sold:
we know that p pounds of almonds and n pounds of nuts were sold.
The total pounds were 102 pounds.
Therefore:
n + p = 102 ............> equation I
Therefore:
p = 102-n ..............> equation II

For almonds:
1 pound of almonds costs $1, therefore:
p pounds of almonds would cost 1*p = $p

For <span>macadamia:
</span>1 pound of <span>macadamia costs $5.93, therefore:
n pounds of </span><span>macadamia would cost 5.93*n = $5.93n

The total amount paid for both types was </span><span>$452.03, therefore:
$p + $5.93n = </span><span>$452.03 ............> equation III

Substitute with equation II in equation III:
102-n+5.93n = 452.03
4.93n = 350.03
n = 71 pounds
Substitute with the value of n in equation 1 to get p as follows:
n+p = 102
p = 102-n = 102-71 = 31 pounds

Total cost of almonds = $p = $31
Total cost of macadamia = $5.93n = 5.93(71) = $421.03

Therefore, based on the above calculations:
number of pounds of almonds = 31 pounds
cost of almonds = $31
number of pounds of macadamia = 71 pounds
cost of macadamia = </span>$421.03

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

C. Favorite baby name is a qualitative variable. Its values are not numerical.

Color of car is a qualitative variable. Its values are not numerical.

Storage space on a computer drive is a quantitative variable. Its values are numerical.

Electrical current is a quantitative variable. Its values are numerical.

Step-by-step explanation:

A qualitative variable is a variable that is categorical and isn't numerical.

For example, your favourite baby names and colours are categorical, they cannot be measured on a numerical scale

Quantitative Variable are  variables that can be measured on a numeric scale.  Ordinal, interval and ratio scales are quantitative scales.

Storage space can be measured on a numeric scale e.g. the storage space has 400 GB

Electric current can be measured on a numeric scale e.g. eclectic current is 50 volts

Students from four classes are in talent show.
KIM [24]

Answer:

A. 8 students

B. Because 24% of 24 is 5.76

Step-by-step explanation:

A:  The ratio of students is 2:5, that means for every 7 students from her class, 2 of them are in the show.  

   28/7 is 4, so there are 2(4) = 8 students in the talent show.

B:  24(24%) = 24(0.24) = 5.76.  The question says 'exactly' 24%.  We can't have 0.76 of a person, so we can't have 'exactly' 24%
