Answer: The weight of the box is 0.2 pounds and the weight of the chocolates before any chocolates were taken out is 2 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the weight of the box only.
The weight of the box of chocolates is 2.2 pounds. It means that the weight of the chocolate only is
(2.2 - x) pounds
After taking out 75% of the chocolates, the remaining chocolates and the box weigh 0.7 pounds. It means that
2.2 - 0.75(2.2 - x) = 0.7
2.2 - 1.65 + 0.75x = 0.7
0.75x = 0.7 + 1.65 - 2.2
0.75x = 0.15
x = 0.15/0.75
x = 0.2 pounds
The weight of the chocolates before any chocolates were taken out is
2.2 - x = 2.2 - 0.2 = 2 pounds
The answer to this is A. I hope this helps

Answer:
y = 1/5x - 6/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write out known variables
m = 1/5
y = 1/5x + b
Step 2: Find <em>b</em>
-1 = 1/5(1) + b
-1 = 1/5 + b
b = -6/5
Step 3: Write linear equation
y = 1/5x - 6/5
