Answer:
$18
Step-by-step explanation:
1 pound of raisins = $2
1 pound of almonds = $5
Let the number of raisins be represented by a
Let the number of almonds be represented by b
We are told in the question that:
Six pounds of a trail mix contains 2 more pounds of raisins than almonds.
a + b = 6 pounds
Hence, Almonds = 2 pounds
Raisins = 4 pounds
The cost of the 6 pounds of trail mix
= 4 × $2 + 2 × $5
=$8 + $10
= $18
Ummmm I’m not sure but ya
To solve:
1) Divide both sides by 100
100x/100 = 265/100
x = 2.65
Answer:
{x,y,z}={5,−3,3}
Step-by-step explanation:
[1] 2x + 4y + z = 1
[2] x - 2y - 3z = 2
[3] x + y - z = -1
// Solve equation [3] for the variable y
[3] y = -x + z - 1
// Plug this in for variable y in equation [1]
[1] 2x + 4•(-x +z -1) + z = 1
[1] -2x + 5z = 5
// Plug this in for variable y in equation [2]
[2] x - 2•(-x +z -1) - 3z = 2
[2] 3x - 5z = 0
// Solve equation [2] for the variable x
[2] 3x = 5z
[2] x = 5z/3
// Plug this in for variable x in equation [1]
[1] -2•(5z/3) + 5z = 5
[1] 5z/3 = 5
[1] 5z = 15
// Solve equation [1] for the variable z
[1] 5z = 15
[1] z = 3
// By now we know this much :
x = 5z/3
y = -x+z-1
z = 3
// Use the z value to solve for x
x = (5/3)(3) = 5
// Use the x and z values to solve for y
y = -(5)+(3)-1 = -3
Solution :
{x,y,z} = {5,-3,3}
Each person will get a full brownie leaving you left over with 2 full brownies. You can cut both of the remaining brownies into 3rds giving you 6 pieces. Each person can then get 2 prices. This is 1 and 2/3 brownies per person
