Answer: B) x + y = 17
1.60x + 2.45y = 34
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of x = $1.60 per pound
Cost of y = $2.45 per pound
Total pounds of x and y = 17
Cost per pound of mixture = $2
Total number of pounds of the mixture :
x + y = 17
Since the cost per pound of the mixture = 2
Hence ;
(Cost of x * number of pounds of x) + (Cost of y * number of pounds of y)
(1.60 * x) + (2.45 * y) = (cost per pound of mixture * total number of pounds of the mixture)
1.60x + 2.45y = 2 * 17
1.60x + 2.45y = 34
V=Bh (with B being the area of the base).
h=V/B, or 456/24, or <u>19</u>.
The answer is 1/2
