Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of 3-lb bags purchased. Then the total purchase was ...
$2(8 -x) +$5.50(x) = $37
16 +3.50x = 37 . . . . . . . . . divide by $, collect terms
3.50x = 21 . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 16
21/3.50 = x = 6 . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
You bought 6 3-lb bags of peanuts and 2 1-lb bags.
It’s easier if you turn the fractions into decimals and arrange them in order from biggest to smallest. 3/4= 0.75, 5/6= 0.83, 7/9= 0.77, 1/2= 0.5, 2/3= 0.66, 7/12= .583, 15/24= 0.625. Then obviously, you order them from biggest to smallest:
0.83 (5/6), 0.77 (7/9), 0.75 (3/4), 0.66 (2/3), 0.583 (7/12), 0.5 (1/2).
