Answer:
Number of pounds of cashews = x = 14.96 pounds
Number of pounds of Brazil nuts = y = 19.04 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us represent:
Number of pounds of cashews = x
Number of pounds of Brazil nuts = y
The nut shack sells cashews for $6.00 per pound and Brazil nuts for $5.00 per pound. How much of each type should be used to make a 34 pound mixture that sells for $5.44 per pound
Our system of equations is given as:
x + y = 34...... Equation 1
x = 34 - y
6x + 5y = 34 × 5.44
6x + 5y = 184.96.......Equation 2
Ww substitute : 34 - y for x in Equation 2
6(34 - y) + 5y = 184.96
204 - 6y + 5y = 184.96
Collect like terms
- 6y + 5y = 184.96 - 204
-y = -19.04
y = 19.04 pounds
Solving for x
x = 34 - y
x = 34 - 19.04
x = 14.96 pounds
Number of pounds of cashews = x = 14.96 pounds
Number of pounds of Brazil nuts = y = 19.04 pounds
Answer:
I was unsure about the way your question was written so I solved for two equations: f(x)=14(5-x)*2 and f(x)=14(5-x)+2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1.1(for infinity) or 0.9
Step-by-step explanation:
it depends if you do 90/100 or 100/90
90/100 = 0.9
100/90 = 1.1(for infinity)
so sorry i couldn't figure out specifically what to divide but i hope both of these answers helped you!
Answer:
2?
Step-by-step explanation:
Ay/x = cz
Multiply 'x' to both sides:
Ay = czx
Divide 'A' to both sides:
y = (czx)/(A)
