Answer:
8 lb of flounder at $2.50/lb
4 lb of shrimp at $5.00/lb
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A be the pounds of shrimp
Let B be the pounds of flounder
Let C be the cost per pound of flounder
A + B = 12
A = 12 - B
BC = 20
A(2C) = 20
BC = A(2C)
BC = (12 - B)(2C)
BC = 24C - 2BC
3BC = 24C
3B = 24
B = 8 lb
A + 8 = 12
A = 4 lb

Answer:
10 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
45 pages per 1 hour and 30 minutes, or 60 min +30 min =90 min
90 minutes / 45 pages has to be equal to an equivalent fraction where we have 300 pages
90 minutes /45 pages = ? minutes / 300 pages , multiply both sides by 300
? minutes = 90*300/45 = 600 minutes
to read 300-page book will take 600 minutes = 10 hours
