Answer:

Each should be used as follows:

Weight of peppermints = X = 25 lb

Weight of Chocolates = Y = 15 lb

Explanation:

Suppose

Weight of peppermints = X

Weight of Chocolates = Y

So According to given condition

X + Y = 40 (Eq. 1)

1.2X + 2.4Y = 1.65*40

1.2X + 2.4Y = 66 (Eq. 2)

By multiplying  (Eq. 1) with 1.2 we get

1.2X + 1.2Y = 48  (Eq. 3)

Now by subtracting  (Eq. 2) from  (Eq. 3)

(1.2X + 1.2Y) - (1.2X + 2.4Y) = 48 - 66

1.2X + 1.2Y - 1.2X - 2.4Y = -18

1.2X - 1.2X + 1.2Y - 2.4Y = -18 (Rearrange)

-1.2Y = -18

1.2Y = 18

Y = 18/1.2

Y = 15

By placing value of Y in (Eq. 1)

X + 15 = 40

X = 40 - 15

X = 25

<u>Check</u>

1.2X + 2.4Y = 66

1.2 (25) + 2.4 (15) = 66

66 = 66

STatiana [176]

Answer:

d. $ 263.50

Explanation:

The Exchange  rate is 1 dollar = 19.924 Uruguayan Peso.

We need to buy 5000 Uruguayan pesos but the agent requires a comision of  a 5%  when converting currency, so really we will need to buy:

5,000 Uruguayan pesos + 5,000 Uruguayan pesos* 0.05 = 5,250 Uruguayan pesos.

Now if we apply the given exchange rate we will obtain the amount of US Dollars we need:

x U$S = (5,250 Ur.$)/(19,924 Ur.$/U$S)= 263,50 U$S needed

dexar [7]

Answer:

win based on strict liability

Explanation:

Strict liability is a liability that is imposed on party by the claimant that proves that an action occurred and the defendant is responsible for it.

This provision does not require the claimant to prove a fault by the defendant. It is mostly used when an action is considered dangerous.

In this scenario Mike was blasting some holes in rocks. This is a dangerous activity that can cause harm.

Myra who broke her legs in the explosion only needs to prove Mike was responsible for the explosion that occurred for her to win based on strict liability provision.
