Answer:

Plastic is 22.5 pounds and aluminum is 32.5 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

total junk = 55 pounds

Value of plastic = $ 1.60 per pound

Value of aluminum = $ 1.28 per pound

Total value= $ 77.60

Let the plastic is p and the aluminum is 55 - p.

Total cost

77.60 = 1.6 p + (55 - p) x 1.28

77.60 =  1.6 p + 70.4 - 1.28 p

7.2 = 0.32 p

p = 22.5 pounds

So, plastic is 22.5 pounds and aluminum is 32.5 pounds.

Please explain to me how 3.2÷4=0.8 is done
DedPeter [7]

To make it easier just assume there is no decimal point then just work out the 32÷4 where we know that 4 goes into 32 8 times so you get 8 remember the decimal point and since it was one decimal place you will push the decimal over to the left of 8 and that is how you get 0.8

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Let's assume the number be 100.

According to the problem , 100 is increased by 100%.

So, new number will be 100+100=200

Now 200 will decreased by 20%.

So, 20% of 200= 0.20*200= 40.

So, again the number has been changed into 200+40=240.

So, x=240
