Marcario should use 4 pounds of macadamia nuts and 8 pounds of almonds.
Explanation
given
cost of macadamia nuts per pound=$9
cost of almond nuts per pound=$5.25
cost of the mixture per pound=$6.5
total pounds of the mixture to be made=12
let the pounds of macadamia nuts=x
pounds of almond nuts=y
total pounds of nuts=x+y=12
solving (1) and (2)
x=4
y=8
I'm not going to do the entire question, but I'll do the first part.
For the first part, you have to set up an inequality. Use context clues, such as no more than (the one used in this sentence) to figure out what the symbol should be for the inequality.
In this case, because it is NO MORE THAN 6400, it would be:
6400
250r + 475p
where r represents the # refrigerators, and p represents the # pianos
Now that you have the equation, make the graph, then for the 3rd part, plug in 12 and 8 to r and p to see if it keeps the inequality true.
Hope this helps! :)
