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
Answer:
282.6 inches cubed
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of the cylinder with radius 3 in and height 10 in is
Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
What we can do is try it out.
20*0.6=12
since 0.6 is left
now we increase 12 by 40, or multiply it by 1.4
12*1.4= 16.8
See what is happening here is that at first when we are decreasing it by 40 percent, we are taking 40 percent of 20. However, when we increase that amount by 40 percent, we are now increasing 40 percent of 20 by 40 percent, or increasing 16 by 40 percent. Therefore, we will not get the original amount.
Answer:
There is no following, we have data of all the people
Step-by-step explanation:
There where Sixty-five salespersons asked and the if we add all the persons that where asked it is the same. So there is no following
Fourteen people answered that they generally sell two cars; 14
nineteen generally sell three cars; 19
twelve generally sell four cars; 12
nine generally sell five cars; 9
eleven generally sell six cars 11
Adding 14+19+12+9+11=65 persons
Answer:
x = −10 and x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
x2 + 6x = 40
Subtract 40 from each side
x^2 + 6x -40 =0
Factor, what 2 numbers multiply to -40 and add to 6
10 * -4 = -40 10+-4 = 6
(x+10) (x-4) = 0
Using the zero product property
x+10 =0 x-4=0
x=-10 x=4
