Answer:

8 pounds of peanuts, 6 pounds of raisins and 6 pounds of chocolate chips

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of pounds of peanuts and y be the number of pounds of raisins and chocolate chips.

Peanuts cost $2 per pound, then x pounds cost $2x.

Raisins cost $2.50 per pound, then y pounds cost $2.50y.

Chocolate chips cost $4 per pound, then y pounds cost $4y.

In total, x+y+y=20 and those 20 pounds cost

2x+2.50y+4y=20·2.75.

Solve the system of two equations:

\left \{ {{x+2y=20} \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \atop {2x+6.5y=55}} \right.

From the first equation:

x=20-2y

Substitute x into the second equation:

2(20-2y)+6.5y=55\\ \\40-4y+6.5y=55\\ \\2.5y=15\\ \\25y=150\\ \\y=6\\ \\x=20-2\cdot 6=8

Answer:

  swordfish

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph shows the marlin travels 50 miles in 1 hour, and 150 miles in 3 hours. These numbers can be compared directly to those given for the tuna (43.5 miles in 1 hour) and the wahoo fish (144 miles in 3 hours).

The speeds of the swordfish and shark are the coefficients of x in their respective equations. The swordfish travels 60 mph, so is faster than the marlin. The shark travels 31 mph, so is slower.
