because we have to find the total cost of one pound of the mixture, therefore first we will calculate the total cost of cashews and Peanuts and than we will divide the total cost by the total weight.

step by step solution:

cost of 4 pounds [email protected]$ 4/pound = 4 x 4= $16

cost of 4 pounds of peanuts @$2.50/pound = 4 x 2.50= $10.00

Now total cost= $16+$10= $26

now total weight= 4+4=8 pounds

Then cost of 1 pound of mixture= total cost÷ total weight

cost = 26÷8= 3.25

so answer is $3.25

Answer: $3.25

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to calculate the cost of the 8 pounds of nuts.

Cashews = 4 x $4 = $16

Peanuts = 4 x $2.50 = $10

The total cost of 8 pounds of nuts equals $16 + $10 = $26

In order to calculate the cost of 1 pound of the mixture you need to divide the total cost by the total weight.

$26 / 8 lbs = $3.25 / lb

The cost of one pound of the mixture is $3.25.

A spinner with 9 equal sections is numbered 1 through 9. The probability of spinning a 1 or a 9 is 2/9 .

USPshnik [31]

The answer would be 7/9. If the spinner has 9 sections and you want to know the probability of NOT landing on a 1 or a 9, you would subtract 2 from 9 since there are 2 numbers and 9 total.

vazorg [7]

Answer:

$81,000

Step-by-step explanation:

A = Final Payment = ?

P = Principal Amount = $30,000

r = Interest Rate = 8.5%

t = Time = 20 Years

A = P(1 + rt)

A = 30,000(1 + 0.085 x 20)

A = 30,000 + 51000

A = $81,000

Hence, Steph will pay $81,000 altogether.

A florist can make a grand arrangement in 18 minutes or a simple arrangement in 10 minutes. The florist makes at least twice as

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of simple arrangements and y be the number of grand arrangements.

1. The florist makes at least twice as many of the simple arrangements as the grand arrangements, so

$x\ge 2y$

2. A florist can make a grand arrangement in 18 minutes $=\dfrac{3}{10}$ hour, then he can make y arrangements in $\dfrac{3}{10}y$ hours.

A florist can make a simple arrangement in 10 minutes $=\dfrac{1}{6}$ hour, so he can make x arrangements in $\dfrac{1}{6}x$ hours.

The florist can work only 40 hours per week, then

$\dfrac{3}{10}y+\dfrac{1}{6}x\le 40$

3. The profit on the simple arrangement is $10, then the profit on x simple arrangements is $10x.

The profit on the grand arrangement is $25, then the profit on y grand arrangements is $25y.

Total profit: $(10x+25y)

Plot first two inequalities and find the point where the profit is maximum. This point is point of intersection of lines $x=2y$ and $\dfrac{3}{10}y+\dfrac{1}{6}x=40$
