The cost of the mixture is $69 *$1 = $69. If all 69 pounds were peanuts, the cost would be 69*$0.99 = $68.31, which is $0.69 less. Each pound of walnuts used instead of peanuts adds $0.03 to the cost of the mixture, so there were $0.69/$0.03 = 23 pounds of walnuts. 
<span>_____ </span>
<span>Let w represent the number of pounds of walnuts in the mixture. Then 69-w is the number of pounds of peanuts. The cost of the mixture will be </span>
<span>1.02w + 0.99(69-w) = 1.00*69 dollars </span>
<span>0.03w + 68.31 = 69.00 </span>
<span>w = (69.00 - 68.31)/0.03 = 0.69/0.03 = 23</span>

Find the amount of tax and the tax rate. Round to two decimal places
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

The tax amount is 15.17$

The tax rate is 12.4%.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we subtract the cost from the selling price.

137.17 - 122 = 15.17

We have found the tax amount, now for the tax rate.

If tax rate is x, then

122 * x = 137.17

Divide both sides by 122 to get

x = 137.17/122 = 1.124, or .124.

Then convert into percentage by moving the decimal to the right 2 times.

.124 = 12.4%

Hope this helps you

HELPP please.. please pleaae
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

A=80

B=31

C=64

Step-by-step explanation:

A, 69, and b will equal 180 since it forms a straight line

A+69+b=180

to solve for A we subtract 53+47 from 180 and get 80

80+69+b=180

to get B we subtract 80+69 from 180 and get 31

to get c we add 85+b and subtract it from 180 getting c=64
