The ounces of chocolate chips used by Mrs Jacob is 70 ounce

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that Jacob is making several batches of cookies and is using 84 total ounces of chips

Let "c" be the ounces of chocolate chips

Let "p" be the ounces of peanut butter chips

To find: ounces of chocolate chips used by Mrs Jacob

Given that There are 5 times as many ounces of chocolate chips as peanut butter chips

<em><u>Thus we can frame a equation as:</u></em>

ounces of chocolate chips = 5 x ounces of peanut butter chips

c = 5p -------- eqn 1

Jacob used 84 total ounces of chip. Therefore,

ounces of chocolate chips + ounces of peanut butter chips = 84

c + p = 84 ---- eqn 2

Substitute eqn 1 in eqn 2

5p + p = 84

6p = 84

<h3>p = 14</h3>

Substitute p = 14 in eqn 1

c = 5(14) = 70

<h3>c = 70</h3>

Thus the ounces of chocolate chips used by Mrs Jacob is 70 ounce

Vladimir [108]
The bike will cost $481.50
because 
10% off of 500 is 50 
so 500 - 50 = 450
Now include the sales tax which is
450 * 0.07 = 31.5
Now add the two totals to get

The average of three numbers is 45. two of the numbers are equal. the last number is 89. what are the two missing numbers?
trasher [3.6K]
The average of a set of data is equal to the sum of the values divided by the number of data present. So, if we have three numbers, the average would be:

let x, y and z represent the three numbers
average = x + y + z / 3 = 45

Two number are equal in value, so let x = y. Substituting the value to the expression of average,

45 = x + x + z / 3
45 = 2x + z / 3

It said that the last number is 89 so z is equal to 89.

45 = 2x + 89 / 3
135 = 2x + 89
46 = 2x
x = 23

Therefore, the two numbers are both 23.
