X = price of the ingredients
so based on the proportion , we can write that :
Almonds needed = x = $ 12 x
peanut needed = 2x = 2x * $ 8 = $ 16x
raisins needed = 3x = 3x * $6 = $ 18x
Equation =
12x + 16x + 18x ≤ $ 23
46x = $23
x = $ 0.5
The pound of mix he can made :
0.5 * 1 pound of almond + 0.5 x * 2 pound of peanuts + 0.5 * 3 pound of raisins
= 3 Pound of mix
The answer is D $126,if three cost $54 that means one costs $18 and just multiply it with seven
You could do this in two ways, you could either subtract immediately or convert the time given in hours into minutes
STEP 1:
8:10
- 7:40
which will give 0:30
STEP 2:
8 hours 10 minutes into minutes is
(8 * 60) +10 = 490 minutes
7 hours 40 minutes into minutes is
(7*40) + 40 = 460 minutes
490 - 460
= 30minutes
