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

<h3>The worth after 4 years is $ 680.24</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>The formula for compound interest, including principal sum, is:</u></em>

A = p(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}

Where,

A = the future value of the investment

P = the principal investment amount

r = the annual interest rate (decimal)

n = the number of times that interest is compounded per unit t

t = the time the money is invested

From given,

n = 1 ( since interest is compounded annually)

p = 500

t = 4

r = 8 \% = \frac{8}{100} = 0.08

<em><u>Substituting the values we get,</u></em>

A = 500(1+ \frac{0.08}{1})^{1 \times 4}\\\\A = 500(1.08)^4\\\\A = 500 \times 1.36048896\\\\A = 680.24448 \approx 680.24

Thus the worth after 4 years is $ 680.24

4/5(2x+5)−4=1<br><br> x = 1 1/4<br> x = 1 2/5<br> x = 5/8<br> x = 3 1/5
tia_tia [17]
The answer is x=5/8. The reason for this is when you divide it equal 0.625 then when you multiply that by 2 it equals 1.25. After you do that you add 5 which is 6.25. Now we divide 4/5 which is 0.8. Now, we multiply 6.25x0.8=5. 5-4=1. Therefore your answer is 5/8. Hope this helps :)

Which of these sets of angle measures could be the three angles in a triangle?
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Okay so this is simple addition, once you know how to do it. 

The interior angles of a triangle should always add up to 180 Degrees. 

Now that you know this, all you have to do is add the numbers together and see which ones add up to 180 degrees. 

A. - 90+42+58=190

B. - 60+60+60=180

C. - 100+48+42=190

D. - 31+75+70=176

Out of these choices the only one that adds up to 180 is B. So your answer would be B.
