Answer:

B = 87.08 pounds @ $0.32

A = 22.92 pounds @ $0.08

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

cost of beans (A)= $ 0.08/pound

and another beans cost (B) = $ 0.32 /pound

total weight of the pound = 110 pound

selling price of mixture = $ 0.27/pound

cost of each bean = ?                    

A + B = 110                                

A = 110 - B-------(1)                        

0.08 A + 0.32 B = 0.27 x 110

0.08 A + 0.32 B = 29.7                

Putting value of A                    

0.08(110 - B) + 0.32 B = 29.7

8.8 - 0.08 B + 0.32 B = 29.7

0.24 B = 20.9

B = 87.08 pounds @ $0.32

A = 22.92 pounds @ $0.08

AleksandrR [38]

Carl is incorrect. Dave ate a higher fraction of snack bars, by 0.2 snack bars.

Carl had .5 left of a snack bar.

Dave had .3 left of a snack bar.

Tony had .5 left of a snack bar.

Gary had .0 left of a snack bar.

Tryone had .7 left of a snack bar.

If we add the above snack bars, there is a total of two remaining snack bars, meaning they only ate 12 of 14 snack bars.

How many diagonals can be constructed from one vertex of an n-gon? State your answer in terms of n and, of course, justify your
Rasek [7]

Polygon Diagonals. The number of diagonals in a polygon = n(n-3)/2, where n is the number of polygon sides. For a convex n-sided polygon, there are n vertices, and from each vertex you can draw n-3 diagonals, so the total number of diagonals that can be drawn is n(n-3).
