Answer:
1 1/3 bags of chocolate chips
Step-by-step explanation:
If Alana has 2 1/4 bags of chocolate chips that she wants to use in 3 batches of chocolate chip cookies, then we can say;
2 1/4 bags of cookies = 3 batches of chips
To determine how much of the chocolate chips will she use in each batch of cookies, we can say;
1 bag of cookies = x batches of chips
Equating both expressions
2 1/4 bags of cookies = 3 batches of chips
1 bag of cookies = x batches of chips
Cross multiply
2 1/4 x = 3
9/4 x = 3
9x/4 = 3
9x = 12
x = 12/9
x = 4/3
x = 1 1/3
Hence Alana will need 1 1/3 bags of chocolate chips
Money invested S + B = $5000 - - - - (a)
Money earned can be represented in S & B as follows:
0.07*S + 0.14*B =$500 - - - - (b)
Equations a & b are two equations with two unknowns.
From equation a:
S = 5000 - B
Replace S in equation b
0.07*(5000 - B) + 0.14*B =$500
0.07B = 500 - 350 = $150
B = 150/0.07 = $2142.86
S = 5000 - 2142.86 = $2857.14
Good luck
