Answer:

Number of 250 g jars packed that day = 276

Number of 500 g jars packed that day = 235

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the company packs x jars of 250 g and y jars of 500 g

Total number of jars packed by the health food company = 511

⇒ x + y = 511

⇒ x = 511 - y ......(1)

Now, quantity of almond packed in 511 jars = 186.5 Kg

1 Kg = 1000 g

⇒ 186.5 Kg = 186500 g

⇒ 250x + 500y = 186500

Putting value of x from equation (1) in the above equation formed.

⇒ 250(511 - y) + 500y = 186500

⇒ 127750 + 250y = 186500

⇒ 250y = 58750

⇒ y = 235

Putting this value in equation (1) ,

x = 511 - 235

⇒ x = 276

Hence, number of 250g jars packed that day = 276

Number of 500 g jars packed that day = 235

Let the number of 250g=0.25  kg jars be x and that of 500g=0.5 kg jams be y;
therefore:
total number of jars ws
x+y=511
x=511-y..........i

total mount kgs was:
0.25x+0.5y=186.5....ii
substituting i in ii
0.25(511-y)+0.5y=186.5
127.75-0.25y+0.5y=186.5
solving for y we get:
0.25y=186.5-127.75
0.25y=58.75
y=58.75/0.25
y=235 jars
and 
x=511-x
=511-235
=276
hence we conclude that there was 235 jars with 0.5 kg almond and 276 jars with 0.25 kg almonds

You do the following.

Take the price of the most expensive subscription and retract the price of the cheap one.

$50-$40 = $10

Since we know what the price of a text message and the difference in dollars between the two subscriptions, we can calculate how many text messages has to be sent. We just divide the result from before ($10) with the price of a text message ($0.2)

$10/$0.2 = 50

The total number of text messages that needs to be send in order for the price of the subscriptions to be the same, is 50.
