Answer:
The number of pounds of cashew is 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Let P represent the peanut
Let C represent the cashew nut.
From question, we were told that Elijah brought a total of 16 pounds of peanuts and cashew nuts. This can be written as:
P + C = 16 (1)
The total cost = $49.50
Cost per peanut = $2.75
Cost per cashew = $3.25
The above can be represented as:
49.50 = 2.75P + 3.25C. (2)
From equation 1,
P + C = 16
P = 16 — C
Substitute the value of P into equation 2:
49.50 = 2.75P + 3.25C.
49.50 = 2.75(16 — C) + 3.25C
49.50 = 44 — 2.75C + 3.25C
49.50 = 44 + 0.5C
Collect like terms
49.50 — 44 = 0.5C
5.5 = 0.5C
Divide both side by 0.5
C = 5.5/0.5
C = 11
Therefore, the number of pounds of cashew is 11
16*8=128 and 128*12= is 1,536
Answer:
2 mm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the sides of the original square,
then the area of the original square is x^2
The sides of the new square is x + 6
The area is (x + 6)^2
Then (x + 6)^2 = 16*x^2
Take square root on both sides and get
x + 6 = 4x,
3x = 6
so x = 2 mm
Cost of lack increased by 30%
new cost of lack will be = 100% + 30% = 130%
We are given that new cost = £65
Thus 130% of original cost = 65
100% of original cost = 65 × 100/130 = £50
Thus original price was £50
