Answer: 40 pounds of cashews should be mixed with the peanuts to ensure no change in the revenue
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of pounds of cashews that should be mixed with the peanuts to ensure no change in the revenue.
The nut store normally sells cashews for $4.00 per pound and peanuts for $1.50 per pound.
In order to sell 60 pounds of peanuts, the manager decided to mix the 60 pounds of peanuts with some cashews and sell the mixture for $2.50 per pound. It means that
4x + (1.5 × 60) = 2.5(60 + x)
4x + 90 = 150 + 2.5x
4x - 2.5x = 150 - 90
1.5x = 60
x = 60/1.5
x = 40
I’m not sure if u mean it that way but the answer is correct
Well... looking at proportions, we're being asked
Answer:
(x + 5) /2
Step-by-step explanation:
"a number" (this will represent as "x")
"increased" another way to say add or "+"
then divided by 2
If you wrote it out like this "x+5/2"it would be wrong because of PEMDAS making you want to divide first instead of after.
Hello there!
28 recipes .......> 100%
15 recipes .......> x%
Cross multiply
28x = 15*100
28x = 1500
x= 1500/28
x ≈ 53.5%
She makes 53.5% of the recipes.
I hope that helps!
