Answer:

x = 28 ----- Banana

y = 54 ----- Almonds

z = 18 ---- Chocolate

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x \to banana

y \to almonds

z \to chocolate

So, we have:

x + y + z = 100 --- total used

4x + 8y + 6z = 652 -- i.e. 6.52 * 100 --- total sales from 100 pounds

y = 3z

Required

The number of pounds of each (i.e. x, y and z)

Substitute y = 3z in x + y + z = 100

x + 3z + z = 100

x + 4z = 100

Make x the subject

x = 100 - 4z

Substitute y = 3z in 4x + 8y + 6z = 652

4x + 8 * 3z + 6z = 652

4x + 24z + 6z = 652

4x + 30z = 652

Substitute x = 100 - 4z

4(100 - 4z) + 30z = 652

400 - 16z + 30z = 652

Collect like terms

- 16z + 30z = 652-400

14z = 252

Divide by 14

z = 18

Substitute z = 18 in x = 100 - 4z

x = 100 - 4 * 18

x = 100 - 72

x = 28

To calculate y, we have:

y = 3z

y = 3 * 18

y = 54

Help pls , will give brainliest!

<h3>Answer:  6</h3>

=======================================

Work Shown:

1 liter = 1000 mL

3 liters = 3000 mL

I multiplied both sides by 3.

Divide that result over 500 to get 3000/500 = 6

So she'll need to buy 6 cartons.

-------

You could also solve like this:

(1 carton)/(500 mL) = (x cartons)/(3000 mL)

1/500 = x/3000

1*3000 = 500*x ... cross multiply

3000 = 500x

500x = 3000

x = 3000/500 .... dividing both sides by 500

x = 6
