Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Figure out the number of yellow beans in each bag:
Bag A: 0.5*26 = 13 beans
Bag B: 0.25*28 = 7 beans
Bag C: 0.2*30 = 6 beans
The total number of beans in the bowl: 26+28+30 = 84
Total number of yellow beans: 13+7+6 = 26
Percentage of yellow beans: 26/84 *100 = 30.9523
Rounded answer: 31%
The 1st one
Well it's the same as normal exponents so you multiply 2/3 x 2/3 x 2/3 x 2/3 x 2/3
The answer for your problem is x = 26
Answer:
- 6 bunches of bananas
- 7 pounds of apples
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to assume that a "piece of fruit" is either a bunch of bananas or a pound of apples. Without that assumption, there is insufficient information to work the problem.
Let B represent the number of bunches of bananas. Then 13-B is the number of pounds of apples. The total cost is ...
6B +8(13 -B) = 92
-2B + 104 = 92 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
B = -12/-2 = 6 . . . . . . subtract 104, then divide by the coefficient of B
13-B = 7 . . . . . . . . . . . the number of pounds of apples
The customer bought 6 bunches of bananas and 7 pounds of apples.

<em>Comment on the solution</em>
You will note that finding the value of the variable involved arithmetic with negative numbers. If you want the numbers to stay positive, then you can choose the variable to represent <em>the most expensive</em> of the items: the number of pounds of apples.
