83 is a whole number and cannot be simplified.
Let's assign a variable x to the number of multiples for each pound of dry mix and water. With that being the said, the question for finding the total pounds would be:
Total pounds = x*Pounds of dry mix + x*Pounds of water
Total pounds = 60x + 8x = 68x = 14 + 1/6 = 85/6
x = 85/6 / 68
x = 5/24
Thus, the pounds of dry mix is 60*5/24 = 25/2 lbs, while the pounds of water is 8*5/24 = 5/3 pounds.
Answer:
5000 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
Let his budget be x
16% of x is 800 dollars
.16 * x = 800
Divide each side by .16
.16x/.16 = 800/.16
x=5000
His budget is 5000 dollars
