Answer:

To find the percent of change, divide the difference by the original amount.

How many pounds of candy that cells for $0.66 per Ib must be mixed with candy that sells for $1.31 per Ib to obtain 9 Ib of a mi
faltersainse [42]

Answer:  \frac{306}{65} pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x pounds of $ 0.66 per lb candies mixed with y pounds of $ 1.31 per lb candies to obtain 9 lb of $ 0.97 per lb candies,

Hence, we can write,

x + y = 9 ------- (1)

And, 0.66 of x + 1.31 of y = 0.97 of (x + y)

⇒ 66 x + 131 y = 97 (x+y)

⇒ 66 x +131 y - 97 x - 97 y = 0

⇒ -31 x + 34 y = 0  ------(2)

By solving equation (1) and (2)

We get,

x=\frac{306}{65} and y=\frac{279}{65}

Hence, the quantity of 0.66 per lb candies = \frac{306}{65}  pounds

Okay I am trying to help my son. Can someone please help me and explain adding mixed numbers 4 3/10+6 9/10
polet [3.4K]

So when you add mixed numbers, you must convert it into fractions. The four would become part of the fraction and be 43/10 and the six becomes part of the fraction which is 69/10. You can find this by multiplying 4 by the denominator and then adding it to the numerator (4 Times 10 = 40 + 3 = 43/10) and same for the other one. The answer is 112/10, simplify to 11 1/5.

Can anyone please help me with number 17?
sweet-ann [11.9K]

The answer is G. I know because, 1.75 * 3 (slices of pizza) = 5.25.

13.75 - 5.25 = 8.5

8.5 / 4 (hot dogs) = 2.1 (price per hot dog)

We can apply this to Sarah by saying

2 * 1.75 = 3.5

3 * 2.1 = 6.3

Added equals 9.8 or 9.75 (Sarah's total)

Correct me if I am wrong hope this helps:)
