Answer:

  8x + 3(20 - x) = 5(20)

Step-by-step explanation:

If x represents the number of pounds of $8 chocolates, then (20-x) is the number of pounds of $3 chocolates. The cost of the mix attributable to the $8 chocolates will be 8x, and the cost associated with the $3 chocolates will be 3(20-x). The sum of these costs is the cost of the 20 pounds of mix: $5×20.

In equation form, this is ...

  8x + 3(20-x) = 5(20)

_____

The solution is x=8, so 8 lb of $8 chocolates should be mixed with 12 lb of $3 chocolates to make a mix worth $5 per pound.

In 2015, the population of a small town in Florida is 95. If he population increases 15% every year, approximately what will the
vova2212 [387]

The population is increasing every year. so we use exponential growth function

y=a(1+r)^x

Where 'a' is the initial population

r is the rate of increase

x is the years

y is the final population

In 2015, the population of a small town in Florida is 95

Initial population a= 95

r= 15%= 0.15

x = 2023 - 2015 = 8 years

Plug in all the values and find out y

y=a(1+r)^x

y=95(1+0.15)^8

y = 290.607

The population in 2023 is 291
