A nut mixture of peanuts and pecans at a small fair is $1.00 per pound of peanuts and $4.25 per pound of pecans. Over the entire

day, 115 pounds of the nut mixture was sold for $358.75. If p is the number peanuts and n is the number of pecans, then the system of equations that models this scenario is: p+n=115p+4.25n=358.75 Determine the correct description and amount of pounds for peanuts and pecans that were sold.

Hello!

You can solve this algebraically

p + n = 115

p + 4.25n = 358.75

Subtract the two equations to eliminate p

-3.25n = -243.75

Divide both sides by -3.25

n = 75

Put n into the first equation

p + 75 = 115

Subtract 75 from both sides

p = 40

The answers are,

40 pounds of peanuts were sold
75 pounds of pecans were sold

Hope this helps!

The amount $180.00 is what percent greater than $135.00?
svp [43]
It would be: 180/135 * 100 = 36/27 * 100
= 4/3 * 100
= 400/3 = 133.33

It means, 180 is 133.33% of 135. So, the difference would be: 133.33 - 100 = 33.33%

In short, Your Final Answer would be 33.33%

Hope this helps!
