we know the blue and white paints are on a 1.5 : 5 ratio, thus, if we have a total of 16.25 gallons of paint to be split along that ratio, we can simply divide 16.25 by (1.5+5) and distribute accordingly.
In the question, there are certain information's that are of immense importance in regards to finding the answer. The first information is that Jose Rivera had purchased 7 textbooks for his classes at River Run Community College. The price that Jose Rivera had to pay was $208.55. The average cost per textbook needs to be found.
The cost of 7 textbooks purchased by Jose Rivera = 208.55 dollars
Then
The cost of 1 textbook purchased by Jose Rivera = (208.55/7) dollars
= 29.79 dollars
The average cost of a textbook purchased by Jose Rivera rounded to the nearest cent is 29.80 dollars.
Set up a proportion
EA / EB = ED/ EC
16 / (5x + 2 + 16) = 12 / (12 + 24)
16/(5x + 18) = 12 / 36 Cross multiply
16 * 36 = (4x + 18)*12 Remove the brackets
576 = 48x + 216 Subtract 216 from both sides.
360 = 48x Divide by 48
360/48 = x
7.5 = x
