Let x represent the pounds of tea of the $8 kind. 8x would represent the total cost of that type of tea. We can also say 50 - x is the pounds of tea of the $6 kind, so 6(50 - x) is the total cost of that type of tea. 50 * 7.4 represents the total cost of all the tea, and the expression 8x + 6(50 -x) would also represent the same thing. We can write this as an equation,
The ratio of dressing to vegetable in its reduced form is determined by dividing the amount of dressing by the amount of vegetables. This will give us the answer of, 2 c / 4 lb In its simplest form, we divide both the numerator and denominator by 2 and the final answer would be, 1 c / 2 lb
