Answer:

75 pounds and 100 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Bons grocer wishes to mix some nuts worth 90 cents( $0.9) per pound with some nuts worth $1.60 per pound to make 175 pounds of a mixture that is worth $1.30 per pound.

Question asked:

How much of each should she use?

Solution:

Let there are two types of nuts mixed in the mixture, one is nut A and another is nut B.

As we know:

1 cent = $0.01

90 cents = $0.01 \times 90 = $0.9

Let quantity of nut A mixed = x\ pound

Quantity of nut B mixed = 175-x\ pound

Total quantity of mixture = 175 pounds

Total cost of mixture = Cost per pound \times Total quantity of mixture in pound

                                  = $1.30 \times 175 = $227.5

As mixture is prepared by mixing two types of nuts:-

Cost per pound of nut A \times Quantity mixed + Cost per pound of nut B

0.9x+1.60(175-x)=227.5\\0.9x+280-1.60x=227.5\\-0.7x+280=227.5\\

By subtracting both sides by 280

-0.7x=-52.5

Minus canceled by minus

0.7x=52.5\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 0.7\\x=75\ pound

Substituting the value:-

Quantity of nut A mixed = x\ pound = 75 pounds

Quantity of nut B mixed = 175-x\ pound= 175 - 75 = 100 pounds

Therefore, Bons grocer wishes to mix<u> 75 pounds of nuts worth 90 cents</u> ($0.9) with <u>100 pounds of some nuts worth $1.60 </u>per pound to make  175 pounds of a mixture that is worth $1.30 per pound.

Answer:

The quantity of first mixture = x  = 75 pounds

The quantity of second mixture = 175 - x  = 175 - 75 = 100 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Total quantity of mixture = 175 pounds

Let quantity of first mixture = x

Quantity of second mixture = 175 - x

From the given information

x (0.9) + (175 - x) × 1.6 = 175 × 1.3

By solving above equation we get

0.9 x + 280 - 1.6 x = 227.5

0.7 x = 52.5

x = 75 pounds

Thus the quantity of first mixture = x  = 75 pounds

The quantity of second mixture = 175 - x  = 175 - 75 = 100 pounds

Two consecutive positive integers have a product of 6. what are the integers
sergejj [24]

Hey there!

One way to do this is find all the factors of 6 and then see which pair fit the requirements.

The factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, and 6. (Note: There can be negative factors, but I am going to leave them out since it is asking for positive integers.)

You can find them by asking if each number can go into 6.

1, 2, 3, and 6 all go into 6, while 4 and 5 do not.

The requirements we have is that they must be consecutive <u>and</u> have a product of 6.

Consecutive means right after one another.

The only numbers that fit this are 2 and 3.

2 x 3 = 6

Hope this helps!

A triangle has the coordinates
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

coordinates of its image

A' = ( -4, -1)

B' =( -3, -3)

C' = ( 0, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Reflect in y-axis means mirror it's points in the y -axis.

This means that the x coordinate of each point, changes only. Any mirrored point in the y-axis, will change only, by multiplying the x-coordinate by -1.

(Remember, zero multiplied by -1 remains 0).

Given are these points A, B, and C.

A = (4, -1)

B = (3,-3)

C = (0, 2)

After mirroring in the y- axis you get:

A' = ( -4, -1)

B' =( -3, -3)

C' = ( 0, 2)
