Answer:

5 Pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A represent the number of pounds of $6 candy

Let B represent the number of pounds of $9 candy

Therefore ,

A + B = 15

A= 15 - B

6 × A + 9 × B = 15 × 7

6A + 9B = 105

In order to find B we substitute 15-B for A in the equation.

6 x (15 - B ) + 9B = 105

90 - 6B + 9B = 105

3B = 105 - 90

3B = 15

B = 5

To solve for A

A = 15 - B

Where B is 5

A = 15 - 5

A = 10

From the calculation,

Number of pounds of $6 per pound candy is 10 and the number of pounds of the $9 per pound candy is 5.

Therefore, since B is representing the number of pounds of the $9 candy , and it is the most expensive, then 5 pounds of the more expensive candy are needed to produce a 15-pound mixture that sells for $7.00 per pound.

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Area of Rectangle = 26x - 2x^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Rectangle two vertices lie on x axis ; two vertices lie on parabola y = 13 - x^2.

Supposing coordinates of upper right vertex of rectangle are P = x , y

Due to parabola symmetry, width of rectangle is twice the distance  horizontal (X) axis distance between Y axis & point P.

Width of rectangle = 2x

Length of rectangle = y  ; y = 13 - x^2

Area of Rectangle = Length x Width

= 2x (y)

= 2x (13 - x^2)

= 26x - 2x^3

Natali [406]

Answer:

probability that their average salary is more than $77,500 is 0.1587

Step-by-step explanation:

standard error

= 10,000/sqrt(16)

=10,000/4

= 2500 

(77,500 - 75000)/2500

2,500/2500

= 1 

p (z > 1) = .1587

So, the probability that their average salary is more than $77,500 is 0.1587
