Silver = 10%
Gold = 90%

Amount of gold to be deducted
90/100 × 18 = 16.2 g

75/100 × 18 = 13.5

16.2 - 13.5 = 2.7

Amount o silver to added.
  2.7 × 5 = 13.5


Answer = 13.5 g

A total of 1,650 boxes of Girl Scout cookies were sold last week. Each large box cost $3.50 and each small box cost $2.00. The G
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

900 large boxes were sold, and 750 small boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the number of large boxes of cookies sold.

y is the number of small boxes of cookies sold.

A total of 1,650 boxes of Girl Scout cookies were sold last week.

This means that

x + y = 1650

So

x = 1650 - y

Each large box cost $3.50 and each small box cost $2.00. The Girl Scout group earned $4,650.

This means that

3.5x + 2y = 4650

Since x = 1650 - y

3.5(1650 - y) + 2y = 4650

5775 - 3.5y + 2y = 4650

1.5y = 1125

y = \frac{1125}{1.5}

y = 750

x = 1650 - y = 1650 - 750 = 900

900 large boxes were sold, and 750 small boxes.

Answer:

angle JKL is 106

Step-by-step explanation:

an isosceles triangle means two sides are the same and the bottom two angles are the same length. So you would equal the two equations and solve it to get x. Then replace one of the equation's x with the number you got, which would be 5, and solve that. Since both bottom angle are the same, the other angle would be the same degree, 37*. A triangle is 180* total, so subtract that by two 37's and you'll get the answer.
