Hi there! The answer is £198.
If you spend 3 / 12 of a certain amount of money, you have 9 / 12 of the money left.
Simplify the fraction.
9 / 12 = 3 / 4.
To find the amount of money left, we multiply this factor by 264. We get the following
£264 × 3/4 = £264 × 0.75 = £198
Therefore the answer is £198

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
8 pounds of peanuts, 6 pounds of raisins and 6 pounds of chocolate chips
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of pounds of peanuts and y be the number of pounds of raisins and chocolate chips.
Peanuts cost $2 per pound, then x pounds cost $2x.
Raisins cost $2.50 per pound, then y pounds cost $2.50y.
Chocolate chips cost $4 per pound, then y pounds cost $4y.
In total, x+y+y=20 and those 20 pounds cost
2x+2.50y+4y=20·2.75.
Solve the system of two equations:

From the first equation:

Substitute x into the second equation:
