Answer:

The solutions are x=4, y=3. Cashews are $4 per pound and Peanuts are $3 per pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = cashews

let y = peanuts

x + 2y = 10 - rosa's purchase

2x + y = 11 - sabrina's purchase

subtract 2x to isolate 'y'

y = 11 - 2x

x + 2(11 - 2x) = 10

x + 22 - 4x = 10 (Use the distributive property.)

-3x = -12

x = 4.00

Plug this into the original equations to find "y"

2(4) + y = 11

8 + y = 11

y = 3

4 + 2y = 10

2y = 6

y = 3

the solutions are: x = 4. y = 3.

A sample of lake water contains 150grams of salt. If 30% of the water sample is salt, find the number of grams the entire sample
hjlf

Answer:

500 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the total number of grams of the sample is x. We know that 30% of x is salt and we also know this quantity is 150 grams. So, we can write this as:

30% * x = 150

Remember that % is simply "out of 100", so 30% = 30/100 = 0.30. Then:

0.30 * x = 150

Divide both sides by 0.30:

x = 500 grams

Hope this helps!
