A coin contains 1.25 grams of nickel and 3.75 grams of copper, for a total weight of 5 grams. What percentage of the metal in th
1 answer:
So,
To find the percentage that the copper comprises, just divide the amount of copper by the total amount of metal in the coin. In this case, we will change the denominator so that it is 100, which can easily be converted into a percentage, which is really just a fraction out of 100.
75%
75% of the metal in the coin is copper.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>
The complete question is in a comment above. The statements says that:
- Sean wrote the equation
is the cost per pound.
- The equation show the relationships between the total cost, $9.25, and the number of pounds of pears.
So we are asked to write an write an equation to show the cost y of x pounds of pears. In other words, we need to write an equation such that y is given in terms of x, where x is the pounds of pears. So:
From the equation we can determine as:
So each pound costs $1.85. The equation tells us that 5 pounds of pears result costs $9.25. Then, by proportion:
So choosing the number of pounds as 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, the table would be:
From the table we can know that the graph is a line. that passes through all these points. Since this line passes through the origin, then y varies directly as x (Direct Proportion).
