A kilogram %30 chocolate,
b kilogram %50 chocolate,
a+b = 100 kilogram chocolate,
48.(a+b) = 30.a + 50.b
48a + 48b = 30a + 50b
18a = 2b
b = 9a
a+b = a + 9a = 10a = 100 kg
a = 10 kg
b = 9.a = 90 kg
You should use,
10 kg %30 chocolate,
90 kg %50 chocolate
List of the first few prime numbers greater than 3:
5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29
Now find the combination that you can multiply and still have a 2 digit number:
5 x 7 = 35
5 x 11 = 55
5 x 13 = 65
5 x 17 = 85
5 x 19 = 95
5 x 23 = 115 ( 3 digit number, can't use).
7 x 5 = 35
7 x 11 = 77
7 x 13 = 91
7 x 19 = 133 ( 3 digit number, can't use).
The largest 2 digit number would be 5 x 19 = 95
One way of doing this is to write the equation of ratios (15 screwdrivers / 45 screwdrivers) = ($300 / x). Solve this equation for x. To do this, you might try multiplying both sides of this equation by x to eliminate fractions.
Another way is to obtain the unit cost of each screwdriver and then multiply the result by 45 screwdrivers.
