Answer:

We know that the box has:

0.6lb of caramels

3.6lb of coconut.

Then the total mass of candy in the box is:

0.6lb + 3.6lb = 4.2lb

This is the 100% of the box.

Now, we can write this as:

4.2lb = 100%

For example, if we want to know which percentage is caramels, we write the equation:

0.6lb = X

We want to find the value of X

Then we have two equations:

0.6lb = X

4.2lb = 100%

Let's take the quotient of these two equations:

(0.6lb/4.2lb) = X/100%

Now we can solve this for X:

(0.6lb/4.2lb)*100% = X = 14.3%

the caramels represent the 14.3% of the wheight of the box.

And for the coconut candy, we have the relation:

3.6lb = Y

Now let's do the same again, we start with the two equations:

3.6lb = Y

4.2lb = 100%

Take the quotient:

(3.6lb/4.2lb) = Y/100%

Solve for Y:

(3.6lb/4.2lb)*100% = Y = 85.7%

Now we found the percentage that represent each type of candy in the box.

Answer:

285

Step-by-step explanation:

hi

personally this is how i would do this question but there are other ways.

i would start off by seeing how many sundays there are in the month (which is 5) then the number of other days which is 25. i'd then multiply 5 by 510 which is 2550. add that to 240 times 25 (which is 6000) and all of that together is 8550. divide that by the number of the days in the month (30) and then you'll get the daily avergae for the month

hope this helped:)

Lorico [155]

Answer:

-30/15 or -2

Step-by-step explanation:

2+8 = 10

3+2 = 5

14-2 = 12

4-1 = 3

10/5 - 12/3

(Find GCF)(GCF = 15)(5 times 3)

30/15 (10/5 times 3)

60/15 (12/3 times 5)

30/15 - 60/15 = -30/15 --> -2(simplified to 2)
