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

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer: a. It merely conducted some activity outside of Alaska and that activity took place through a website.

Explanation:

CalmDown can use the defence that all it did was to conduct an activity through it's website and this happened to be outside Alaska.

As such the company is still bound by the state that it is registered in which in this case would seem to be in Alaska. They are not to be bound by the laws of another jurisdiction from the one they are registered to if the activity was done on the internet.

Marcus should therefore try to bring action against them in Alaska if he can.

Total outstanding debt = 660,000 x 55%

Total outstanding debt = $363,000

Additional debt for taget debt to assets ratio = $363,000 - 185,000

Additional debt for taget debt to assets ratio = $178,000
