Let x  be the number of bags of Nature's Recipe Venison Meal & Rice Canine 20 percent protein, y be the number of bags of Nutro Max Natural Dog Food 27 percent protein and z be the number of bags of PetSmart Premier Oven Baked Lamb 25 percent protein a dog breeder buys. He  wants to make 300 pounds of a mix. Then

20x+17.5y+30z=300.

Now

  • in 20x pounds of Nature's Recipe Venison Meal & Rice Canine 20 percent protein is 0.2·20x=4x pounds of protein;
  • in 17.5y pounds of Nutro Max Natural Dog Food 27 percent protein is 0.27·17.5y=4.725y pounds of protein;
  • in 30z pounds of PetSmart Premier Oven Baked Lamb 25 percent protein is 0.25·30z=7.5z pounds of protein;
  • in 300 pounds of mix containing 22 percent protein is 0.22·300=66 pounds of protein.

Then 4x+4.725y+7.5z=66.

You get a system

\left\{\begin{array}{l}20x+17.5y+30z=300\\4x+4.725y+7.5z=66.\end{array}\right.

From the first equation z=10-\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{7}{12}y. Substitute it into the second equation:

4x+4.725y+7.5(10-\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{7}{12}y)=66.

Simplify it:

-x+\dfrac{7}{20}y=-9,\\ \\ 20x-7y=180.

y must be divided by 20, then

  • y=0, x=9, z=10-6=4;
  • y=20, x=16, z is not a whole number;
  • y=40, x=23,  z is not a whole number;
  • y=60, x=30, z=10-20-35<0;
  • thus, all other possible z will be <0.

Answer: 9 bags with 1st mix, 0 bags with 2nd mix and 4 bags with 3rd mix.

A toll collector on a highway receives ​$8 for trucks and ​$5 for sedans. At the end of a 3​-hour ​period, she collected ​$208.
Vilka [71]

Answer:

The number of trucks and sedans can be

(0 trucks ,26 sedans)

(8 trucks ,21 sedans)

(24 trucks ,11 sedans)

(25 trucks ,1 sedans)

(32 trucks ,6 sedans)

(16 trucks ,16 sedans)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The  cost for trucks =$5

The cost for sedans  =$8

The total amount collected = $208

To Find:

Number of trucks and sedans passed through the toll booth =?

Solution:

Let the number of trucks be x and the number of sedans be y

Then

5x + 8y = 208-------------------------------(1)

By Trail and error method

5(0) + 8(26) = 208

5(8) + 8(21) = 208

5(24) +8(11) =208

5(25) + 8(1) = 208

5(32) + 8(6) =208

5(16) + 8(16) = 208

suppose Tinsel Town Videos lowers the price of its movie club membership by 10 percent and as a result, CineArts Videos experien
alexandr402 [8]

Answer: The value of cross price elasticity is 1.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Percent change in price = 10%

Percent change in quantity = 16%

So, we need to find the cross price elasticity between the two movie club memberships.

As we know the formula for cross price elasticity :

\dfrac{\%\text{change in demand}}{\%\text{change in price}}\\\\=\dfrac{16}{10}\\\\=1.6

Hence, the value of cross price elasticity is 1.6.

Find the area of each regular polygon. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.
tatuchka [14]

*I am assuming that the hexagons in all questions are regular and the triangle in (24) is equilateral*

(21)

Area of a Regular Hexagon: \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}(side)^{2} = \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}*(\frac{20\sqrt{3} }{3} )^{2} =200\sqrt{3} square units

(22)

Similar to (21)

Area = 216\sqrt{3} square units

(23)

For this case, we will have to consider the relation between the side and inradius of the hexagon. Since, a hexagon is basically a combination of six equilateral triangles, the inradius of the hexagon is basically the altitude of one of the six equilateral triangles. The relation between altitude of an equilateral triangle and its side is given by:

altitude=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}*side

side = \frac{36}{\sqrt{3}}

Hence, area of the hexagon will be: 648\sqrt{3} square units

(24)

Given is the inradius of an equilateral triangle.

Inradius = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{6}*side

Substituting the value of inradius and calculating the length of the side of the equilateral triangle:

Side = 16 units

Area of equilateral triangle = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}*(side)^{2} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}*256 = 64\sqrt{3} square units
