Answer:
18 pounds of cashews are needed.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
A manager bought 12 pounds of peanuts for $30.
Price of peanut per pound P = $30/12 = $2.5
Price of cashew per pound C = $5
Price of mixed nut per pound M = $4
Let x represent the proportion of peanut in the mixed nut.
The proportion of cashew will then be y = (1-x), so;
xP + (1-x)C = M
Substituting the values;
x(2.5) + (1-x)5 = 4
2.5x + 5 -5x = 4
2.5x - 5x = 4 -5
-2.5x = -1
x = 1/2.5 = 0.4
Proportion of cashew is;
y = 1-x = 1-0.4 = 0.6
For 12 pounds of peanut the corresponding pounds of cashew needed is;
A = 12/x × y
A = 12/0.4 × 0.6 = 18 pounds
18 pounds of cashews are needed.
So i think in the school there may be 4800 in the school. Hope this helps
Alright, so the sum of two days is going to equal zero.
The variable here is what Jesse got on the first day. Let's call it "x".
x-6=0
x is the first day's score, -6 is the second day's score, and the total score is zero.
Now, add 6 to both sides.
x-6=0
+6 +6
x=6
Jesse's score for the first day was (+)6.
