Answer:

The amount of Soyabean = 608.82 pounds.

The amount of Oats  = 900-608.82 = 291.18 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the Soybean Meal has 46% CP and Oats has 12% CP.

The total amount of ration is 900 lbs of 35% CP.

Let x pounds of Soyabean has been used, so,

the amount of Oats = 900-x lbs.

The CP amount in 900 lbs mixture will be equal to the sum of CP amounts in x lbs Soyabean and 900-x lbs Oats, i.e

35% of 900 = 46% of x + 12% of (900-x)

\Rightarrow \frac{35}{100}\times 900=\frac{46}{100}\times x+\frac{12}{100}\times (900-x)

\Rightarrow  35\times 900 = 46x + 12\times 900 - 12 x

\Rightarrow 34x= 900(35-12)

\Rightarrow x = (900\times 23)/34

\Rightarrow x = 608.82 lbs.

So, the amount of Soyabean = 608.82 pounds.

The amount of Oats  = 900-608.82 = 291.18 pounds.

Mary is selling chocolate bars to raise money. She earns $3 for each solid milk chocolate bar sold and $4 for each caramel-fille
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

3m + 4c

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever a word problem says the word earn that means the slope, also known as the rate of change, will be positive. Knowing this you can determine that both the caramel and milk chocolate slopes will be positive. After figuring all that out the only thing left to do is to make the equation. You know you have two slopes, and each slope needs a variable, so you will have to look back at the question. It is given that m represents the milk chocolate and c represents the caramel. Now all you have to do is make the slope the coefficient to the corresponding variable. The milk chocolates are 3 dollars, so the 3 goes in front of the m and the caramel chocolates are 4 dollars, so teh 4 goes in front of the 4. Since both slopes are positive no negatives or minus signs will be used in the equation. Knowing all this information you can now create the expression 3m + 4c.
