Step-by-step explanation:
Take the total cost and divide by the number of pounds
4.38/ 6
.73 per pound
Answer:
b=3, y=6
Step-by-step explanation:
Label the 2 equations:
2b +6y= 42 -----(1)
2b +4y= 30 -----(2)
(1) -(2):
(2b +6y) -(2b +4y)= 42 -30
2b +6y -2b -4y= 12
2y= 12
y= 12 ÷2 <em>(</em><em>÷</em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>on</em><em> </em><em>both</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em>)</em>
y= 6
Susbt. y=6 into (2):
2b +4(6)= 30
2b +24=30
2b= 30 -24 <em>(</em><em>-24</em><em> </em><em>on</em><em> </em><em>b</em><em>o</em><em>t</em><em>h</em><em> </em><em>sides</em><em>)</em>
2b= 6
b= 6 ÷2
b= 3
This situation of the recipe can be represented as y=x+5.5 and it is expected that x is ≥ 0 and y is ≥ 5.5.
<h3>What is the equation for this situation?</h3>
It is known the total amount of flour (y) is equivalent to the total amount of whole wheat flour (5.5) added to the total white flour (x). Therefore, the equation is:
y = x + 5.5
The possible values are
x = It is expected x is equalthan 0 or greater to it since the minimum amount of white flour that can be added is 0.
y = It is expected y is equal than 5.5 or greater to it since even if no
white flour is added the minimum total is 5.5.
