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:
11 is the median of the entire data set
6 is the median of the lower half and 16 is the median of the upper half data scores...
Subtract 16 from 6 gives 10 so the answer is C) 10
Answer:
x = 32
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following data;
Unknown number = x
Translating the word problem into an algebraic equation, we have;
Lowest common denominator (LCD) = 2
We multiply all through by 2;
x = 32
Therefore, the unknown number is 32.
Greater bc the market prices are going to go up
The probability of tossing a sum of 7:
6/36
the probability of tossing a sum greater than 7 :
not 100% sure
but I think it is 16/36
the probability of tossing a sum less than 13
36/36
good luck
