Answer: 40 pounds of cashews should be mixed with the peanuts to ensure no change in the​ revenue

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of cashews that should be mixed with the peanuts to ensure no change in the​ revenue.

The nut store normally sells cashews for​ $4.00 per pound and peanuts for​ $1.50 per pound.

In order to sell 60 pounds of​ peanuts, the manager decided to mix the 60 pounds of peanuts with some cashews and sell the mixture for $2.50 per pound. It means that

4x + (1.5 × 60) = 2.5(60 + x)

4x + 90 = 150 + 2.5x

4x - 2.5x = 150 - 90

1.5x = 60

x = 60/1.5

x = 40

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

a) 376.66

b) Option 2: No, the result from part (a) could not be the actual number of adults who said that rising gas prices are "quite annoying" because a count of people must result in a whole.

c) 377

d) 40.77%

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 37% of 1018 is;

37/100 × 1018 = 376.66

b) Thus, the result in a above is not a whole number. Thus;

No, the result from part (a) could not be the actual number of adults who said that rising gas prices are "quite annoying" because a count of people must result in a whole.

c) from a above a, we got a value of 376.66.

Now the actual number would be preferably an integer. Thus, actual number is approximately 377.

d) percentage of respondents said that cellular phones are not at all harmful = 415/1018 × 100% = 40.77%

you are planting a rectangle garden. it is 5 feet longer than 3 times its width. the area of the garden is 250 feet. find the di
Ede4ka [16]
L=3w+5
2(3w+5)+2w=250 (both w and l have to be multiplied by two because there are two sides)
This can be simplified to: 6w+10+2w=250
Now subtract 10 from both sides and add the two w's together.
This makes: 8w=260
Divide both by 8: 32.5-w=32.5
32.5 times 2=65
250-65=185, divided by 2=92.5

Length=92.5
Width=32.5

hope this helped!
