Marcario should use 4 pounds of macadamia nuts and 8 pounds of almonds.
Explanation
given
cost of macadamia nuts per pound=$9
cost of almond nuts per pound=$5.25
cost of the mixture per pound=$6.5
total pounds of the mixture to be made=12
let the pounds of macadamia nuts=x
pounds of almond nuts=y
total pounds of nuts=x+y=12
solving (1) and (2)
x=4
y=8
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Solve for y:</u>
Add - 2x to both sides
- 2x + y - 2x = 7 - 2x
- y = 7 - 2x

Answer:
5 bags
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of the tub is the product of its dimensions:
V = (1.8 m)(0.5 m)(0.25 m) = 0.225 m³
There are 1000 L in 1 m³, so this volume in liters is ...
(0.225 m³)(1000 L/m³) = 225 L
At 50 L per bag, the gardener needs ...
(225 L)/(50 L/bag) = 4.5 bags
The gardener probably cannot purchase a partial bag, so must buy more than is needed.
The gardener must buy 5 bags of compost to fill the tub.
