Answer:

30 pounds of $9 brand

10 pounds of $3 brand

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = $9 brand

let y = $3 brand

system of equations:

x + y = 40

9x + 3y = 40(7.5)

substitution method:  x = 40 - y

9(40 - y) + 3y = 300

360 - 9y + 3y = 300

360 - 6y = 300

-6y = -60

y = 10

so, x = 40 - 10 or 30

1) Johnson's profit is

... net profit = selling price - costs = $155 - 35.00 - 39.17 - 36.43 = $44.40

His net earnings per hour are then

... earnings/hours = $44.40 / (4.5 h) = $9.87/h

2) net profit = selling price - overhead - cost

... net profit = selling price - 0.45 × selling price - cost . . . . substitute for overhead

... net profit = 0.55 × selling price - cost

Given that overhead = 0.45 × selling price, we can find selling price by dividing by 0.45:

... selling price = overhead/0.45

Using this in the profit equation, we have

... net profit = 0.55×(overhead/0.45) - cost

... = (0.55/0.45) × $65.34 - 49.32 . . . . . . substitute given numbers

... net profit = $30.54

Furkat [3]

Answer:

Starting with the smallest, we will have; D , C, A, B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

A = 3/4

B  = 5/6

C = 16/25

D = 9/15

Convert the fractions to decimal, to determine their sizes;

A = 3/4 = 0.75

B  = 5/6 = 0.833

C = 16/25 = 0.64

D = 9/15 = 0.6

From the decimal form of the fractions, it be observed that,

B > A > C > D

Starting with the smallest, we will have; D , C, A, B
