Answer: 80 pounds


Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount of cashews needed to make a 400 pound cashew and peanut mix.

Then the amount of peanuts= 400-x

Now, the price of cashews before mix = 13x

the price of peanuts before mix = 8(400-x)

the price of 400 pound mix = $9(400)=$3600

According to the question:

8(400-x)+13x=3600\\\Rightarrow3200-8x+13x=3600\\\Rightarrow5x=400\\\Rightarrow\ x=80

Hence, he use 80 pounds of cashews .

The point (-7,4) in on the terminal side of an angle t. Find sec (t) to two decimal places.
Sliva [168]

Answer:

  -1.15

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent of the angle can be found as ...

  tan(t) = (y-coordinate)/(x-coordinate) = -4/7

The secant of the angle is related by ...

  sec(t)² = tan(t)² +1 = (-4/7)² +1 = 65/49

Then the secant of this 2nd-quadrant angle is ...

  sec(t) = -√(65/49) = -(√65)/7 ≈ -1.15

Rose bought a bag of potatoes for $6.00 and some granola bars for $5.25 per package. Her total bill was $74.25. How many package
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Rose bought 14 packages of granola bars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total bill = 1 bag of potatoes + x amount of packages of granola bars

Total bill = $74.25

1 bag of potatoes = $6.00

1 package of granola bar = 5.25

We set the equation to:

74.25 = 6.00 + 5.25x

Subtract 6.00 from both sides:

68.25 = 5.25x

Divide both sides by 5.25 to leave x by itself

68.25/5.25 = 5.25x/5.25

13 = x

This means Rose bought 13 packages of granola bars.

Let's recheck our work by inputting x = 13 into the equation:

74.25 = 6.00 + 5.25(13)

74.25 = 6.00 + 68.25

74.25 = 74.25

Aisha just received a paycheck from her new job she spends some of it buying music online and saves the rest in a bank account h
postnew [5]
Set y equal to 25 because this is the amount of money Aisha wants to save. This gives you 25 = 50-1.99x. Now we can solve for x, which is the variable. First, subtract 50 from both sides so that you can get the variable, x, by itself. After subtracting 50 from both sides, you are left with -25 = -1.99x . If it is easier for you, you can put the numbers on opposite sides so it reads -1.99x = -25 . Now divide both sides by -1.99 so that x is by itself. So -1.99x ÷-1.99 = 1x which is equal to just x and -25÷-1.99 = about 12.56, which is a decimal. (Remember that when you divide a negative number by a negative number, it becomes a positive number) Finally we have x = 12.56 (or 1x = 12.56) with 12.56 being equal to the number of songs Aisha can buy if she also wants to save money in her bank account. However, nobody can buy only .56 or part of a song. Round down to the nearest whole number, which is 12. This is how many songs she can buy and it makes sense because it is 12 entire songs, not 12 and just the chorus of a song. If you want to check, you can plug in 12 for x and she shouod have a little more than $25 in her bank account. So Aisha can buy 12 songs is she wants to save $25. I hope this helped :)
