Given :
The Mad Hat Company must ship two different-sized boxes: The small ones cost them 45 cents each and weigh 6 ounces, and the large ones weigh 25 ounces and cost $1.20 each.
The total shipment this morning weighed 20 pounds 7 ounces and cost $18.45.
To Find :
How many packages of each size were shipped.
Solution :
We know, 1 pound = 16 ounces.
So, 20 pound = 20×16 = 320 ounces.
Let, number of large and small box are l and s.
So,
25l + 6s = 327 ...1)
0.45s + 1.20l = 18.45 ...2)
Solving both the equations, we get :
x = 9 and y = 17
Therefore, package smaller and big size are 17 and 9 respectively .
Hence, this is the required solution.
If it stays as fraction the answer would be 7/14
For every 5 cashews, there are 6 peanuts and 7 almonds.
Means: Cashews:Peanuts:Almonds = 5:6:7
Sum of ratio = 5 + 6 +7 = 18
Cashews = (5/18) * 270 = 75
Peanuts = (6/18) * 270 = 90
Almonds = (7/18) * 270 = 105
So how many more what are there than peanuts?
The number of that nuts Minus the number of peanuts.
= Number of that nuts - 90
