Answer:

18 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Create an equation where x is the number of weeks he works

60x - 220 will represent his profit, since he gets $60 a week but spent $220 in equipment.

Set this equal to 860, then solve for x, to find when he will earn $860

60x - 220 = 860

60x = 1080

x = 18

So, it will take him 18 weeks to earn $860

The nut shack sells cashews for $6.00 per pound and Brazil nuts for $5.00 per pound. How much of each type should be used to mak
Kay [80]

Answer:

Number of pounds of cashews = x = 14.96 pounds

Number of pounds of Brazil nuts = y = 19.04 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent:

Number of pounds of cashews = x

Number of pounds of Brazil nuts = y

The nut shack sells cashews for $6.00 per pound and Brazil nuts for $5.00 per pound. How much of each type should be used to make a 34 pound mixture that sells for $5.44 per pound

Our system of equations is given as:

x + y = 34...... Equation 1

x = 34 - y

6x + 5y = 34 × 5.44

6x + 5y = 184.96.......Equation 2

Ww substitute : 34 - y for x in Equation 2

6(34 - y) + 5y = 184.96

204 - 6y + 5y = 184.96

Collect like terms

- 6y + 5y = 184.96 - 204

-y = -19.04

y = 19.04 pounds

Solving for x

x = 34 - y

x = 34 - 19.04

x = 14.96 pounds

Number of pounds of cashews = x = 14.96 pounds

Number of pounds of Brazil nuts = y = 19.04 pounds
