Answer:
4:1
Step-by-step explanation:
x+20 : y+20 = 5 : 2
(x+20)/(y+20) = 5/2
2(x+20) = 5(y+20)
2x+40 = 5y+100
2x = 5y+60 (1)
x-5 : y-5 = 5:1
(x-5)/(y-5) = 5/1
x-5 = 5(y-5)
x-5 = 5y-25
x = 5y-20 (2)
Solve (1) & (2) simultaneously,
2(5y-20) = 5y+60
10y-40 = 5y+60
5y = 100
y = 20
x = 5y-20
x = 5(20)-20 = 100-20
x = 80
x:y
80:20

Answer:
$0.34 per ounce
Step-by-step explanation:
A 5 pound box can be changed to ounces. There are 16 ounces in a pound. So we have 5 groups of 16.
5 × 16 is 80 ounces.
There are 80 ounces in 5lbs.
To get a price per ounces, divide.
dollars/ounces
= 27.20/80
= 0.34 dollars/oz.
This is 34cents per ounce.
