Number of pounds of macadamia nuts is 8 pounds and number of pounds of almonds is 4 pounds.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Step 1:
Given total pounds of mixture = 12 pounds, cost of macadamia nuts per pound = $9, cost of almonds per pound = $5.25, total cost of mixture per pound = $7.75.
Let number of pounds of macadamia nuts be x and number of pounds of almonds be 12-x.
Step 2:
Form an equation using the above information.
⇒ 9x + 5.25 (12-x) = 12 × 7.75
⇒ 9x + 63 - 5.25x = 93
⇒ 9x - 5.25x = 30
⇒ 3.75x = 30
⇒ x = 8
Number of macadamia nuts is 8 pounds.
Step 3:
Calculate number pounds of almonds
⇒ Number of pounds of almonds = 12 - x = 4 pounds.
Answer:
A).Amount = $218250
B). Amount = $88700
Step-by-step explanation:
A) .$5000 in an account at age 23, and withdraw it 42 years
Number of years t= 42 years
Principal P = $5000
Rate r= 9%
Number of times compounded n= 42
A= p(1+r/n)^(nt)
A= 5000(1+0.09/42)^(42*42)
A= 5000(1+0.002143)^(1764)
A= 5000(1.002143)^1764
A= 5000(43.65)
A= 218250
Amount = $218250
B).waits 10 years before making the deposit, so that it stays in the account for only 32 years
Number of years t= 32 years
Principal P = $5000
Rate r= 9%
Number of times compounded n= 32
A= p(1+r/n)^(nt)
A= 5000(1+0.09/32)^(32*32)
A= A= 5000(1+0.0028125)^(1024)
A= 5000(1.0028125)^1024
A= 5000(17.74)
A= 88700
Amount = $88700
After plotting all the points, the only one that makes sense is (4,3).
