Answer: 72 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "s" the amount of sugar in grams that  must be used for 252 grams of coconut to keep the same ratio of coconut to sugar.

Knowing that in the recipe for the coconut cookies, should be 420 grams of coconut and 120 grams of sugar, and you only have 252 grams of coconut, you can set up this proportion to find "s":

\frac{420grams}{120grams}=\frac{252grams}{s}

Now, you need to solve for "s":

\frac{420grams}{120grams}=\frac{252grams}{s}\\\\s(\frac{420grams}{120grams})=252grams\\\\s=(252grams)(\frac{120grams}{420grams})\\\\s=72grams

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:Initiation fee is $400 while monthly fee is $10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial fee be x which is fixed while the monthly fee be y

At the end of 5 months, 450 was paid

This means that;

x + 5y = 450 ••••••••(i)

At the end of 10 months, $500 was paid

Mathematically, this means that;

x + 10y = 500•••••••••••(ii)

now we solve both equations simultaneously to get the value of x and y

our equation ii can be rewritten as;

x + 5y + 5y = 500

we can now insert equation i directly into this

450 + 5y = 500

5y = 500-450

5y = 50

y = 50/5

y = $10

From x + 5y = 450

let’s insert the calculated value of y

x + 5(10) = 450

x + 50 = 450

x = 450-50

x = $400
