Answer:

Twenty Pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation #1:

30lbs x Mix Price = (Lollipop Lbs  x 0.95)  + (Caramel Lbs X 1.10)

Equation #2:

Lollipops Lbs + Caramel Lbs = 30 Lbs

<em>Rearrange expressions to solve for different variables</em>

EQ1:   Caramel Lbs = (30 - .95 Lollipop Lbs)/ 1.10      NOTE: (mix price = 1.00)

EQ2:  Lollipop Lbs = 30 - Caramel Lbs

<em>Substitute formula 1 into formula 2</em>

Lollipop Lbs = 30 - [(30 - .95 Lollipop Lbs)/1.10]

<em>Distribute divisor</em>

Lollipop Lbs  = 30 - 27.2727 + .8636 Lollipop Lbs

<em>Collect terms</em>

Lollipop Lbs  =  2.7273 + .8636 Lollipop Lbs

<em>Remove .8336 Lollipops from both sides of the equation</em>

.1364 Lollipop Lbs = 2.7273

<em>Divide both sides by .1364  </em> (Answer is  19.9949 which rounds to 20)

Lollipop Lbs =  20

PROOF:

30 = (20 x 0.95) + (10 x 1.10)

30 = 19 + 11

30 = 30   TRUE!

John looked at his bank account and noticed that he had $2,029.90 in his account. All that he could remember is that he created
Over [174]

We will have that for the previous year, he had in the account:

m_{y6}=2029.90-\frac{2029.90\cdot6}{100}\Rightarrow m_{y6}=1908.106

For the year previous to that one, he had:

m_{y5}=1908.106-\frac{1908.106\cdot6}{100}\Rightarrow m_{y5}=1793.61964

For the previous year to that, he had:

m_{y4}=1793.61964-\frac{1793.61964\cdot6}{100}\Rightarrow m_{y4}=1686.002462

For the year previous to that one, he had:

m_{y3}=1686.002462-\frac{1686.002462\cdot6}{100}\Rightarrow m_{y3}=1584.842314

For the second year that the money was in the account, there was:

m_{y2}=1584.842314-\frac{1584.842314\cdot6}{100}\Rightarrow m_{y2}=1489.751775

And the orinial ammount of money that was in the account was:

m_{y1}=1489.751775-\frac{1489.751775\cdot6}{100}\Rightarrow m_{y1}=1400.366669

From this, we know that Jhon had originally $1400.37 in the bank account.
