Answer: The weight of the box is 0.2 pounds and the weight of the chocolates before any chocolates were taken out is 2 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the weight of the box only.

The weight of the box of chocolates is 2.2 pounds. It means that the weight of the chocolate only is

(2.2 - x) pounds

After taking out 75% of the chocolates, the remaining chocolates and the box weigh 0.7 pounds. It means that

2.2 - 0.75(2.2 - x) = 0.7

2.2 - 1.65 + 0.75x = 0.7

0.75x = 0.7 + 1.65 - 2.2

0.75x = 0.15

x = 0.15/0.75

x = 0.2 pounds

The weight of the chocolates before any chocolates were taken out is

2.2 - x = 2.2 - 0.2 = 2 pounds

Jacob has the faster time because if you make the fractions equal you would make the denominators equal by rounding 3/4 to have a denominator of 12 making it 9/12 which is larger then 5/12 making Daniel's time slower then Jacob's.

Tickets to the zoo cost $14 for adults and $10 for children. A group of 12 people went to the zoo, and the tickets cost $140. Th
hjlf
 x is the number of adults and y is the number of children.
   x + y = 12
<span>14x + 10y = 140
lets multiply the first equation by -10 and then add it to the second equation:
-10x - 10y = -120
</span>14x + 10y = <span>140
</span>-----------------------
4x + 0 = 20
x = 20/4
x = 5
then substitute in the original equation:
x + y = <span>12
</span>5 + y = <span>12
</span>y = 12 - 5
y = 7
therefore there were 5 adults and 7 children

Margarita [4]

Answer:

880 high-quality version

Step-by-step explanation:

I think the below is your full question:

<em>A Web music store offers two versions of a popular song. The size of the standard version is 2.1megabytes (MB). The size of the high-quality version is 4.5 MB. Yesterday, there were 1290 downloads of the song, for a total download size of 4821 MB. How many downloads of the high-quality version were there?</em>

Here is my answer:

Let x is the number of high-quality version

So the number of standard version= 1290 - x

We also know:  total download size of 4821 MB. which means:

4.5x + 2.1(1290-x) = 4821

<=> 4.5x+2709-2.1x=4821

<=> 2.4x=2112

<=> x=880

So there were 880 high-quality version
