This is how you do it!
So, There is a ratio of 1:2 for the orange to green.
This means that e can write an equation like this:
Let x be the orange picks
x + 2x = 12
3x = 12
x = 4
This means that there are 4 orange picks, and also 8 green picks
Now we can check that by simplifying the ratio --> 4:8 = 1:2
Therefore, your answer would be 8 green picks
Hope this helped!
Since its telling you that x is the number of years and the question is "How much does the cost of milk increase EVERY YEAR" then you can conclude that the cost is increasing by 0.25 each year
Lets x and y are 2 accounts Paige invested
x account invested with annual interest rate 8.5%
y account invested with annual interest rate 10%
x + y =<span>15,250 so x = 15,250 - y
0.085x + 0.1y = </span><span>1,411.75
substitute </span>x = 15,250 - y into 0.085x + 0.1y = 1,411.75
0.085x + 0.1y = 1411.75
0.085(15,250 - y) + 0.1y = 1,411.75
1,296.25 - 0.085y + 0.1y = 1,411.75
0.015y = 115.5
y = 7,700
x = 15,250 - y
x = x = 15,250 - 7,700
x = 7,550
answer
$7,550 invested on account with annual interest rate 8.5%
$7,700 invested on account with annual interest rate 10%
