Pumpkins at a local farm sell for $.49 per pound. Jim Ring spent $73.50. How many pounds of pumpkins were purchased?

2 answers:

6 0

Number of pounds purchased multiplied by price per pound equals the total $ spent.

x= # pumpkin pounds purchased
0.49x=$73.50
Divide both sides by 0.49
x=150 pumpkin pounds purchased

Hope this helps! :)

ou decide to bake some cakes. You need 150 g of flour for 12 cakes. How much flour do you need for 30 cakes? g

Brilliant_brown [7]

Short answer: 375 grams

Remark
You only need to set up a direct proportion

Givens
flour for 12 cakes = 150 grams
Number of cakes initially = 12
Amount of flouer for 30 cakes = x
Number of cakes = 30

Proportion
amount flour for 12 cakes / 12 cakes = x / 30

Sub and solve
150 grams / 12 cakes = x / 30 cakes Cross multiply
150 * 30 = 12 *x Multiply the left side.
4500 = 12 x Divide both sides by 12
4500/12 = x
375 grams for 30 cakes. <<<<< Answer

A manufacturer of bicycles has determined that 550 bikes per month will be sold at a price of $250. At a price of $150, it is es

iogann1982 [59]

750 bikes would be sold for $350

Let x represent the number of bikes sold per month and y represent the price.

550 bikes are sold at a price of $250, this can be represented by (550, 250). Also, 750 bikes is sold at a price of $150, hence it is represented by (750, 150)

A linear function is represented by:

y = mx + b

m is the slope, b is the y intercept.

Therefore the function is:

$y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)\\\\y-250=\frac{150-250}{750-550} (x-550)\\\\y=\frac{1}{2}x-25$

The number of bikes sold for $350 is:

350 = (1/2)x - 25

x = 750

Therefore 750 bikes would be sold for $350
