Answer:

Each pound of chocolate chips costs $ 1.5 and each pound of walnuts cost $ 3.75 .  

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, each pound of  chocolate chips costs  $ x and each pound of walnuts costs $ y.

Then,  according to the question,

5x + 6y = 30 --------------(1)   and,

3x + 2y = 12 ----------------(2)

Multiplying (2) by 3 we get,

9x + 6y = 36 ---------------------(3)

Deducting  (1) from  (3) we get,

4x = 6

⇒ x = 1.5 ----------------------(4)

From (4), putting the value of x in (2) , we get,

2y = 7.5

⇒ y = 3.75 ---------------------------(5)

Now you do 7x = 10 - 3x , equal sign is plus am guessing and then 10 - 3x is 7x so

7x + 7x = 14x

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

The proportion of people who were caught after being on the 1010 Most Wanted list would be 40.81%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the FBI wants to determine the effectiveness of their 1010 Most Wanted list, and to do so, they need to find out the fraction of people who appear on the list that are actually caught, supposing a sample of 517517 suspected criminals is drawn, and of these people, 211211 were captured, to estimate the proportion of people who were caught after being on the 1010 Most Wanted list using this data, the following calculation must be performed:

517,517 = 100

211,211 = X

211,211 x 100 / 517,517 = X

21,121,100 / 517,517 = X

40.81 = X

Therefore, the proportion of people who were caught after being on the 1010 Most Wanted list would be 40.81%.
