"Two significant figures" means that a digit after the second one could actually be anything ... it wasn't measured. 'X' could be anything from 230 to 239. 'Y' could be anything from 400 to 409. The greatest possible value of that fraction is. (239)/(409 squared) .

You have one type of candy that sells for $1.70/lb and another type of candy that sells for $3.40/lb. You would like to have 8.5
Andrew [12]

Answer: You will need 3.5lbs of the cheaper candy

and 5 lbs of the expensive candy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of the cheaper candy that you would need.

Let y represent the number of pounds of the expensive candy that you would need.

You would like to have 8.5 lbs of a candy mixture. It means that

x + y = 8.5

You have one type of candy that sells for $1.70/lb and another type of candy that sells for $3.40/lb. The candy mixture would sell for $2.70/lb. It means that the total cost of the mixture would be 8.5 × 2.7 = $22.95. The expression would be

1.7x + 3.4y = 22.95- - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 8.5 - y into equation 1, it becomes

1.7(8.5 - y) + 3.4y = 22.95

14.45 - 1.7y + 3.4y = 22.95

- 1.7y + 3.4y = 22.95 - 14.45

1.7y = 8.5

y = 8.5/1.7

y = 5

x = 8.5 - y = 8.5 - 5

x = 3.5
