x = the unknown number

nine <u>times</u>(multiplication) a number(x) divided(division) by 2 equals(=) 54,
so 9x is divided by 2
Number of pounds of macadamia nuts is 8 pounds and number of pounds of almonds is 4 pounds.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Step 1:
Given total pounds of mixture = 12 pounds, cost of macadamia nuts per pound = $9, cost of almonds per pound = $5.25, total cost of mixture per pound = $7.75.
Let number of pounds of macadamia nuts be x and number of pounds of almonds be 12-x.
Step 2:
Form an equation using the above information.
⇒ 9x + 5.25 (12-x) = 12 × 7.75
⇒ 9x + 63 - 5.25x = 93
⇒ 9x - 5.25x = 30
⇒ 3.75x = 30
⇒ x = 8
Number of macadamia nuts is 8 pounds.
Step 3:
Calculate number pounds of almonds
⇒ Number of pounds of almonds = 12 - x = 4 pounds.
What I did was turn ¾ in to a fraction (which is 75%) then turned it into a decimal (.75)
then I multiplied .75 by 1.20 and .9
So she spent 90 cents on apples

Answer:
It's 19.
Step-by-step explanation:
Use order of operations (PEMDAS):
2^2[4+(3-6)^2]-13
Parentheses first:
= 2^2[4 + (-2)^2] - 13
= 2^2 ( 4 + 4) - 13
= 2^2 * 8 - 13
Now work out the exponent:
= 4*8 - 13
Now the multiplication:
= 32 - 13
= 19.
