Answer:
- 25 pounds cashews
- 15 pounds peanuts
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c represent the number of pounds of cashews in the mix. Then 40-c is the number of pounds of peanuts. The total cost of the mix is ...
10c +2(40 -c) = 7(40)
8c +80 = 280 . . . . simplify
c +10 = 35 . . . . . . . divide by 8
c = 25 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 10
40-c = 40-25 = 15 . . . . pounds of peanuts
25 pounds of cashews and 15 pounds of peanuts should be used in the mix.
12
First figure out of it is a arithmetic or geometric sequence, in this case it is a geometric sequence because you have to multiply, not add to find the next number.
Divide one number, I'll pick 324 by the number before it, 108, you get three.
Now divide 36 by 3, you get 12.
To check, multiply 12 by 3, you get 36, multiply that by 3, you get 108, and so on and so forth.
