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!

You are challenged to a lucky draw game. If you draw a face card (K, Q, J) from a standard deck of cards, you earn 10 points. If
Aleksandr [31]

The Expected value of a draw from the given question is; A; 0.77

We are told the face cards are K, Q, J. This means that there are 3 face cards for each of the 4 suits.

Since you earn 10 points for each face card, it means that;

total possible gain = 10 × 3 × 4 = 120

In a deck of cards, there are a total of 52 cards.

This means that;

Number of cards that are not K, Q or J = 52 - (4 × 3) = 40

Since 2 points are lost for drawing any of this 40 cards, then;

Total possible loss = 40 × 2 = 80

Expected gain = 120 - 80

Expected gain = 40

Expected value of a draw = 40/52

Expected value of a draw = 0.77
