Answer:

  8 bags of pretzels

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of bags of pretzels Tim buys. We assume he spends exactly $20 on exactly 12 bags of snack food. Then his purchase is ...

  1.50x + 2.00(12-x) = 20.00

  -0.50x +24.00 = 20.00 . . . eliminate parentheses, collect terms

  -0.50x = -4.00 . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 24

  x = 8 . . . . . . . . . . divide by -0.50

Tim will buy 8 bags of pretzels.

<span>current ratio: 4 apple trees for every 3 pear trees. wants: 2 avocado trees for every 5 pear trees in the orchard. Sandy is planting 18 avocado trees so 2 avocado trees for every 5 pear trees =1 avocado trees for every 2.5 pear trees therefore if we have 18 avocado trees 18 x 2.5 = 45 pear trees 4 apple trees for every 3 pear trees 4/3 = 1.333 apple trees for every 1 pear tree therefore if we have 45 avocado trees 45 x 1.333 = 60 apple trees therefore ratio of avocado to apple trees = 18 : 60 18 : 60 = 9 : 30 = 3 : 10</span>
