Answer:
amount of nuts = 2 pounds
amount of dried fruit = 4 pounds
Explanation:
We are given that x is the amount of nuts and y is the amount of dried fruit.
We are also given that:
1- Hunter needs to make 6 pounds of trail mix. This means that:
x + y = 6
This can be rewritten as:
x = 6 - y .........> equation I
2- x costs $4 per pound, y costs $3.5 and Hunter can spend a total of $22. This means that:
4x + 3.5y = 22 ..........> equation II
Substitute with equation I in equation II and solve for y as follows:
4x + 3.5y = 22
4(6-y) + 3.5y = 22
24 - 4y + 3.5y = 22
24-22 = 4y-3.5y
2 = 0.5y
y = 4 pounds
Substitute with y in equation I to get the value of x as follows:
x = 6-y
x = 6-4
x = 2 pounds
Hope this helps :)
This would be C. 60$
This is because if she got the bag for 50% off, 30 divided by 2 is 15$, 45 divided by 2 is 22.5, 60 divided by 2 is 30$ so option C. Would be your answer.
Answer:
B) 40 necklaces with 25 left over
Step-by-step explanation:
Area is 6000 yd2
LW = 6000
field must be 40 yards longer than its width
L = W + 40
Replace L with W+40 in 1st equation to solve for Width
(W+40)(W) = 6000
W2 + 40W - 6000 = 0
This is a quadratic but is factorable
Factors of -6000 that add to 40 are (100)(-60)
(W+100)(W-60) = 0
W = -100 or W = 60
Since the width will not be negative discard -100
The width is 60 yards
Length is W+40 = 100 yards
