Answer:

50

Step-by-step explanation:

x= the number of pounds of the tropical taffy that should be used

You need to take the value of the Tropical Taffy + the value of the Passion Fruit taffy to = the value of Tropical Passion

value- price per pound times the number of pounds

Your equation is going to look like this-->

5.50x+6.25(100)=6(x+100)

5.50x+625=6x+600

-5.50x        -5.50x

625=0.5x+600

-600         -600

25=0.5x

50=x

Hope this helps!

You saved $1,240 and your sister agrees to put it in a savings account at her credit union so you can earn interest. You earned
leva [86]

The amount after 2 years is $2,295.

Given that,

  • The invested amount is $1,240.
  • The rate of interest is 8%.
  • The number of years is 2 × 4 = 8

Based on the above information, the amount after 2 years is

Future value = Present value ×(1 + rate of interest)^number of years

= $1,240 × (1 + 0.08)^8

= $1,240 × 1.08^8

= $2,295

Therefore we can conclude that the amount after 2 years is $2,295.
