Answer:
He needs 16 ounces of raisins and 8 ounces of nuts
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x -----> the number of ounces of raisins
y -----> the number of ounces of nuts
we know that
x+y=24 -----> equation A
x=2y -----> equation B
Solve the system by substitution
Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y
(2y)+y=24
3y=24
y=8 ounces of nuts
Find the value of x
x=2(8)=16 ounces of raisins
therefore
He needs 16 ounces of raisins and 8 ounces of nuts
60*(1-x)=36
60-60x=36
-60x=36-60
-60x=-24
x=24/60
x=4/10
x=2/5
x=0.4
36 is 40% less than 60
A=113.1 IN with the little 2 above the IN
