Answer:

$9.75

Step-by-step explanation:

A store is having a sale on walnuts and chocolate chips. For 3 pounds of walnuts and 5 pounds of chocolate chips, the total cost is $16. For 6 pounds of walnuts and 2 pounds of chocolate chips, the total cost is $22

. Find the cost for each pound of walnuts and each pound of chocolate chips.

***

let x=cost/lb of walnuts

let y=cost/lb of chocolate chips

..

3x+5y=16

6x+2y=22

 

..

6x+10y=32 (mult. eq by 2)

6x+2y=22

subtract:

8y=10

y=10/8=1.25

x=16-5y=9.75

cost/lb of walnuts=$1.25

cost/lb of chocolate chips=$9.75

Answer:

x=3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportions to solve this problem.  Put the side of one triangle over the same side of the other triangle.

6           4.2

------ = ----------

5           x

Using cross products

6x = 5*4.2

6x =21

Divide by 6

6x/6 = 21/6

x=3.5

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

$508.33

Step-by-step explanation:

If I win $61 per every $3 bet, then:

61/3 = x/25 ⇒ Solving for 'x':

61*25/3 = $508.33
