L = lemon drops

J = jelly beans

L +J = 100

L=100-J

1.90L + 1.20J=1.48*100

1.90(100-j) +1.20J =148

190-1.90J+1.20J=148

190-0.7J=148

-0.7J=-42

J = 60

L=100-60 = 40


40 pounds of Lemon Drops are needed

Lisa's store collects 5% sales tax on every item sold if if she caused if she collected $22. In sales tax what was the cost of t
Advocard [28]
Im assuming the question is asking: if she collected $22 in sales tax what was the cost of the items her store sold.  you should make sure you type the question correctly otherwise it'll be hard to answer.

going with my assumption of what the question is, we want to find the total cost of all items her story sold.  let that cost be c. since there is 5% sales tax on everything and we know the sales tax is worth $22,m we have:

5%(c) = 22
dividing both sides by 5% (or .05) gives:
c = $440

If you have a right triangle is 10 cm² and one of the legs is 4 cm find the length of the other leg
lesya [120]

If you are saying that the hypotenuse is 10 cm the you have to solve the following equation using the Pythagorean theory.

4^2 + b^2 = 10^2

16 + b^2 = 100

16 - 16 + b^2 = 100 - 16

b^2 = 84

The average of eight numbers is 56. When one of the numbers was left out, the mean decreased to 54. What number was left out?
Alexandra [31]

The number that was left out is 70.

<h3>What is the number that was left out?</h3>

Average is the sum of a set of numbers divided by the total numbers in the data set.

Average = sum of numbers / total numbers

  • Sum of numbers when there are 8 numbers = 56 x 8 = 448
  • Sum of numbers when there are 7 numbers = 54 x 7 = 378
  • Difference = 448 - 378 = 70
