Answer: The price of candies in cents per ounce is 20.31 cents per ounce.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that Jackson bought 3 pounds of candies for $9.75.

We are to find the price of the candies in cents per ounce.

We know that

1 dollar = 100 cents and 1 pound = 16 ounces.

Given that

Price of 3 pounds of candies = $ 9.75 = 9.75 × 100 cents = 975 cents.

So, price of 1 pound of candies will be

$\dfrac{975}{3}=325~\textup{cents}.$

This implies that, price of 16 ounces of candies = 325 cents.

Therefore, price of 1 ounce of candies will be

$\dfrac{325}{16}=20.31~\textup{cents}.$

Thus, the price of candies in cents per ounce is 20.31 cents per ounce.

Lunna [17]

Answer:

The amount in the account at 12% interest is $3400 and the amount in the second account at 7% interest is $2600

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount in the account at 12% interest

So, 6000-x is the amount in the second account at 7% interest

$SI = \frac{P \times T \times R}{100}$

First account: $SI=\frac{x \times 1 \times 12}{100}$

Second account : $SI =\frac{(6000-x) \times 1 \times 7}{100}$

We are given that At the end of the first year he had earned $590 in interest.

So, $\frac{x \times 1 \times 12}{100}+\frac{(6000-x) \times 1 \times 7}{100}=590\\x=3400$

So,the amount in the account at 12% interest is $3400

The amount in the second account at 7% interest =6000-x=6000-3400=2600

Hence the amount in the account at 12% interest is $3400 and the amount in the second account at 7% interest is $2600

Jeremy and Randell are brothers and each are trying to raise money for summer camp.
To help Jeremy raise money, his parents told him he could wash each of their cars once a week for $20.00 each. He has already earned $640.00. The football camp that he wants to attend costs $1,469.00.
To help Randell raise money, his parents told him he could mow the grass for them and both sets of grandparents once every 2 weeks and earn $28.00 for each lawn he mows. He has already earned $728.00. The lacrosse camp that he wants to attend costs $1,701.00.
If Jeremy and Randell each earn enough money to attend the camps of their choice, then from this point on (randell) needs to complete (idk what would got here) more chores than(jeremy)

is it asking you to fill in the blanks with their names if so i think it would be this.
