Answer: 6.25 is her profit
Step-by-step explanation: cost-price= protect
2.25 - 8.50=6.25
Let us check series : -10 /-2 = 5 -50/-10 = 5
so it is a geometric series with a= -2 and r= 5
sum formula for n terms of geometric series = a ( r^n -1 ) /( r-1)
here we find S5 that is n= 5 = -2 ( 5^ 5 - 1) /( 5-1)
= -2 ( 3125 -1) / 4 = -1562
second series is : 1.5/1 = 1.5 2.25/1.5 = 1.5
this is also geometric series but n = 12 a= 1 and r= 1.5
we use same formula
S12 = 1 ( (1.5) ^12 -1) /( 1.5-1) =
128.74 / 0.5 = 257.49
Last is 2/1= 2 4/2 = 2 8/4 = 2 so r = 2 a = 1 and n = 12
we use same formula 1 ( 2^12 - 1) / (2-1)
= 4095

Answer: 37 kilograms of walnuts should be mixed.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of kilograms of peanuts needed to make the mixture.
Let y represent the number of kilograms of walnut needed to make the mixture.
The mixture to be made is 100 kg. It means that
x + y = 100
The worth of the mixture is $3.24 per kilogram. It means that the total worth of the mixture is
3.24 × 100 = $324
peanuts cost $2.50 per kilogram and walnuts cost $4.50 per kilogram. It means that
2.5x + 4.5y = 324- - - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 100 - y into equation 1, it becomes
2.5(100 - y) + 4.5y = 324
250 - 2.5y + 4.5y = 324
- 2.5y + 4.5y = 324 - 250
2y = 74
y = 74/2 = 37
x = 100 - y = 100 - 37
x = 63
