Answer:
The apricots are less expensive per pound.
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of 1 pound of almonds = 21.98/2
Cost of 2 pounds of almonds = $21.98
So then you have to do 21.98 - 21.98/2. Which equals $10.99
Cost of 1 pound of dried apricots = 26.25/3
Cost of 3 pounds of dried apricots = $26.25
So then you have to do $26.25 - 26.25/3 which = $17.5 then divide that by 2 which equals $8.75.
To find out how much less expensive you have to find the difference, so to do that you have to do $10.99 - $8.75 = $2.24 per pound less expensive.

450/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
38 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
By the Law of Cosines,
5² = 3² + 7² - 2(3)(7) cos A
5² - 3² - 7² = -2(3)(7) cos A
-33 = -42 cos A
cos A = 33/42
A = arccos(33/42), which is about 38 degrees.
The information from the first equation gives you the information needed for the second. To solve the first equation you must rearrange the equation to isolate X. In order to do that you can first move the 3 to the other side of the equation by subtracting it from both sides (5x + 3 - 3 = 4 - 3) and then simplify that to (5x = 4 - 3) and further to (5x = 1). Then to move the 5 you must divide both sides by 5 so you get (5x/5 = 1/5) which can be simplified to (x = 1/5)
From this you can use the X value and input it into the second equation
Y = -3(1/5) and then solve for Y.
Hope this helps!
