The answer would have to be 4x^2y
the cost for each of jelly beans and each pound of trail mix is $2.5 and $1.75
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Given A store is having a sale on jelly beans and trail mix. For 3 pounds of jelly beans and 2 pounds of trail mix, the total cost is $11. For 5 pounds of jelly beans and 6 pounds of trail mix, the total cost is $23 . We have to find the cost for each pound of trail mix and each pound of jelly beans.
Let the cost of each pound of trail mix is $y.
and the cost of each pound of jelly beans is $x.
According to question,
For 3 pounds of jelly beans and 2 pounds of trail mix, the total cost is $11.
⇒
→ (1)
For 5 pounds of jelly beans and 6 pounds of trail mix, the total cost is $23
⇒
→ (2)
Solving (1) and (2), we get
3(1 equation)-(2 equation)=0
⇒
⇒
hence,
⇒
⇒
Putting
in
we get ;
⇒
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
Hence, the cost for each of jelly beans and each pound of trail mix is $2.5 and $1.75 .
Answer:
Stefan originally spent $110.
Stefan made a profit of $44.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Stefan sold the bike and helmet for $137 and $17
Total amount = 137+17 = $154
This is 140% of the price Stefan originally paid.
Let,
x be the original price paid by Stefan
140% of x = $154

Therefore,
Stefan originally paid $110 for the bicycle and helmet.
Profit made by Stefan = 154-110 = $44
Hence,
Stefan originally spent $110.
Stefan made a profit of $44.
I think to N because it make more sense in the number line
