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.

What did andrew do wrong??
Ivahew [28]
His hand slipped and she could not hold on any longer. He reached out to stop her from falling but all he caught was a single hair. She fell into the abyss and disappeared out of sight. He stared into the emptiness that had stolen his love away from him and began to cry. She was gone. He heard a faint whisper in the background that would haunt him for ever more 'Andrew, what did you do wrong?'

Sorry, I like creative writing.
