In order to get $5 per pound, you need a ratio of 1:2. One $9 for every two $3 will get you $5 per pound, since 9 + 3 + 3 is 15, divided by 3 pounds is $5. For 240 pounds, divide by three (since there is one $9 and two $3). This is 80 times the 3 pounds at $5.
Therefore, 1 × 80 is 80 pounds of $9 coffee, and 2 × 80 is 160 pounds if $3 coffee. which totals 240 pounds at $5 per pound.

valkas [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

 Kindly find attached a summary of the checks she has written from May to August.

A. What is the mean number of checks Jill wrote per month during the last four months

mean= (14+19+23+24)/4

mean= 80/4

mean= 20 checks

B.  Based on the mean, estimate how much Jill expects to pay in per-check fees each month after she switches to the new account.

the expression for the total is given as

y=12.50+0.2x

y=12.50+0.2(20)

y=12.50+4

y=16.5

=$16.5

C. Estimate the total monthly fees Jill will pay each month for the new checking account.

May= 12.50+0.2(14)

May=12.5+2.8= 15.3

June= 12.50+0.2(19)

June=12.5+3.8= 16.3

July= 12.50+0.2(23)

July=12.5+4.6= 17.1

August= 12.50+0.2(24)

August=12.5+4.8= 17.3

total will be = 15.3+16.3+17.1+17.3= $66

Sedbober [7]
You would need about 8 cups more. If you make 2 2/3 a improper fraction and then multiply it by three, you would get 24/3, which is eight in simplest form.
