To solve the problem we must establish two equations.
let x be the mass of the 20 cents almonds
y be the mass of the 36 cents mixture
first equation is:

x + 40 = y

the second equation is:
0.2x + 40(0.4) = 0.36y

solving the equations simultaneously
x = 10 lb of the 20 cents almonds is needed to mix

a cell phone company charges a monthly fee plus a 0.35 for text messages sent they charge 25.00 monthly fee and your bill is 58.
riadik2000 [5.3K]
Hey,

So first we are told that they charg a fixed fee of 25:00 right?That means even if you didn’t send any text messages you still have to pay 25:00.

So first we have to subtract that 25:00 form 58.25 right?This means the rest of the bill is for text messages OK?
So he spent 33.25(this is the answer to the subtraction) on the text messages right?
And for every text he sent he was charged 0.35 right? So we have to divide 33.25 by 0.35 right?
And that gets us 95.

Now we can double check the answer by multiplieng 95 by 0.35 and adding 25.

So th answer is 95

Hope this helps !!

Alexxandr [17]
The simplest way to find percent is to take the partial number, divide by the whole number, and multiply the answer by 100%.

= 0.4

0.4 x 100% = 40%.

It is estimated that the average amount owed for student loans in 2010 was $25,250 per student. If the interest rate for student
Harman [31]
Let's fix 2010 as the present time. According to basic equations in engineering economy,

F = P (1+i)^n where F is the future worth, P is the present worth, i is the interest rate and n is the number of years. Substituting the appropriate values,

F = $25,250 (1 + 0.068)^10
F = $48,750

If the student has payed for the $25,250, then he needs to pay $48750 - $25250 = $23,500 more.

I hope I was able to help you. Thank you.
