Answer:
26%
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract the old amt from the new amt, then divide by the old amt:
19-15/15 = 4/15 = 26.6%. Rounded to the nearest tenth it would be 26%.
Given: 11-pound mixture of peanuts, almonds, and raisins
Cost:
peanuts - 1.5 per pound
almonds - 3 per pound
raisins - 1.5 per pound
mixture:
twice as many peanuts as almond; total cost of mixture is 21.
a + p + r = 11 lbs
a + 2a + r = 11 lbs
3a + r = 11
r = 11 - 3a
1.5(2a) + 3a + 1.5r = 21
3a + 3a + 1.5r = 21
6a + 1.5r = 21
6a + 1.5(11-3a) = 21
6a + 16.5 - 4.5a = 21
6a - 4.5a = 21 - 16.5
1.5a = 4.5
1.5a/1.5 = 4.5/1.5
a = 3
almonds = 3 lbs
peanuts = 2a = 2(3) = 6lbs
raisins = 11 - 3a = 11 - 3(3) = 11 - 9 = 2 lbs
<span>My answer is: C. 6 lbs peanuts, 3 lbs almonds, 2 lbs raisins </span>
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume = lwh
V = 23 x 24 x 8
V = 4416ft^3
Ft - Yd:
4416ft^3 = 163.5556^3 yd
(I'm not actually sure about this as I don't use the imperial system)
49 = -7 (t + 1)
49 = -7t + 7
-7 -7
42 = -7t
÷ -7 ÷ -7
-6 = t
t = -7
