Let c represent the weight of cashews and p the weight of pecans.
Then c + 10 = total weight of the nut mixture.
An equation for the value of the mixture follows:
$1.50(10 lb) + $0.75c = (c+10)($1.00)
Solve this equation for c: 15 + .75c = c + 10. Subtract .75c from both sides:
15 = 1c - 0.75c + 10. Then 5=0.25c, and c = 5/0.25, or 20.
Need 20 lb of cashews.
Check: the pecans weigh 10 lb and are worth $1.50 per lb, so the total value of the pecans is $15. The total value of the cashews is (20 lb)($0.75/lb), or $15. Does (20 lb + 10 lb)($1/lb) = $15 + $15? Yes. So c= 20 lb is correct.
Let's say "m" is the manufactoring cost per drill (in dollars).
Then the manufactorer sells it for $4 more, so this would be:
m+4
Then the chain store sells it for 140% of the price is paid the manufactorer, so this would be "140% of (m+4)" which translates to "1.4•(m+4)" or more simply:
1.4(m+4)
P(m) = 1.4(m+4), where m is the initial manufactoring cost (in dollars).
Simplifying, you could rewrite this as:
P(m) = 1.4m + 5.6
X is 50. The lengths of the radii extending out from the center to the chords are the same length, therefore, the chords are the same distance from the center and have the same measure.
Answer:
477 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
1 foot to a yard is 0.333333.
1431 times 0.333333=477yards
Subtract 7 from both sides
x^2 - 6x - 7 = 7 - 7
Simplify
x^2 - 6x - 7 = 0
Answer :
The final solutions to the quadratic equation are:
x = 7, -1
