The total cost of pound of walnut and a pound of chocolate together is $4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the cost of walnut as $w per pound

Similarly, let us assume the cost of chocolate at $c per pound

Putting the above assumptions in the given conditions mentioned in the question-

Condition 1- the cost of 2-pound walnut and 12-pound chocolate is $ 33

The 2-pound walnut cost can be written as 2w (since we have assumed that walnut cost $w/pound)

Similarly, 12-pound chocolate would cost 12c

2w+12c=33  Equation 1

Condition 2- the cost of 5-pound walnut and 3-pound chocolate is $15

5-pound walnut cost 5w and 3-pound chocolate cost 3c which equals $15

5w+3c=15   Equation 2

Comparing Equation 1 and Equation 2

We multiply Equation 2 with a factor of 4  

Hence the equation 2 becomes- 20w+12c=60 (this was done to make either of the variable’s coefficient equal)

Now subtracting Equation 1 from Equation 2

20w+12c=60 -(2w+ 12c=33)

We get 20w-2w=60-33 (12c gets cancelled out)

18w=27

w=$ 1.5  (cost of walnut is $1.5/pound)

putting the value of w in either of the equation we get c as 2.5$

Hence the total cost of one pound each of walnut and chocolate is $2.5+$1.5= $4

ehidna [41]

To the find average of the test scores, we need to find the mean.

To find the mean, all we need to do is add up all the numbers and then divide the answer by how many numbers there are

81 + 83 + 85 = 249

249 ÷ 3 = 83

Therefore, the new average is 83

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

\large\boxed{\dfrac{1}{8}\%=\dfrac{1}{800}}

Step-by-step explanation:

p\%=\dfrac{p}{100}\\\\\dfrac{1}{8}\%=\dfrac{\frac{1}{8}}{100}=\dfrac{1}{8}\cdot\dfrac{1}{100}=\dfrac{1}{800}\\\\\text{other method}\\\\\text{Convert the fraction to the decimal:}\\\\\dfrac{1}{8}=0.125\to\dfrac{1}{8}\%=0.125\%\\\\0.125\%=\dfrac{0.125}{100}=\dfrac{0.125\cdot1000}{100\cdot1000}=\dfrac{125}{100000}=\dfrac{125:125}{100000:125}=\dfrac{1}{800}
