Answer:

Mike had 14 slice of bread in his loaf while

Joey had 8 slice of bread in his loaf.

Step-by-step explanation:

We should note that a sandwich is made up of two slice of bread.

that is :

A Sandwich = 2 Slice of bread

and for bologna to be in a sandwich, you will have 2 slice of bread together.

So, For Mike,

2 slice of bread × 5 Sandwich = 10 Slice of bread

Remaining Slice of bread = 4 Slice

Total Slice of bread in Mike loaf = 10 + 4

= 14 slice of bread was in Mike loaf of bread.

For Joey

A sandwich = 2 Slice of bread

2 slice of bread × 4 Sandwich = 8 Slice of bread

Remaining slice of bread = 0

Total slice of bread in joey loaf = 8 slice of bread.

Answer:

The correct answer is 28 slices of bread

Step-by-step explanation:

Let there be BO slices of bologna and BR slices of bread in a package.

Mike use  BO/5  ( 5 slides per sandwich) and he use bread, BR- 4= BO/5 x2  

Joey use (BO-4)/4 and BR=(BO-4)/4 x2

We know BO and BR are the same for each one ,  so we can replace BR in one equation and Isolate BO

((BO-4)/4 x2)- 4= BO/5 x2  

We divide each term by 2  

((BO-4)/4 )- 2= BO/5

BO/4-1 -2=BO/5

BO/4-3=BO/5

BO/4- BO/5=3

5BO-4BO/20=3

1BO/20=3

BO= 3x 20

BO=60

 

and BR=(BO-4)/4 x2

BR=(60-4)/4 x2

BR=(56)/4 x2

BR=14 x 2= 28

Brand X sells 21 oz. Bags of mixed nuts that contain 29% peanuts. To make their product they combine brand A mixed nuts which co
masha68 [24]

Answer:

Brand X has to mix 8.4 oz of brand A mixed nuts which contain 35% peanuts and 12.6 oz of brand B mixed nuts which contain 25%, to obtain 21 oz. Bags of mixed nuts that contain 29% peanuts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi

We define

B_{A}=1oz @ 35\%, wich means Brand A has 1 oz containing 35% peanuts.

B_{B}=1oz @ 25\%, wich means Brand b has 1 oz containing 25% peanuts.

So we can build an equiation system

(1) B_{a}+B_{b}=21

(2)0.35 \times B_{a}+0.25 \times B_{b}=0.29 \times 21, after fixing it a little

(2)0.35B_{a}+0.25B_{b}=6.09

As we can use any method to solve the system, I used a calculator wich thrown the following results B_{a}=8.4 \ oz and B_{b}=12.6 \ oz.
