Answer:

  • 20 taffy bags and 15 caramel candy bags

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • t = the number of taffy bags
  • c = the number of caramel bags
  • Number of taffy's are 5 more than caramel bags
  • Taffy bags weigh 8 ounces and caramel bags weigh 16 ounces
  • Total weight is 400 ounces

<u>Equations:</u>

  • t = c + 5             (the difference in number of bags)
  • 8t + 16c = 400  (the weight of the bags)

<u>Simplify the second equation by dividing all terms by 8:</u>

  • t + 2c = 50

<u>Substitute t and solve for c:</u>

  • c + 5 + 2c = 50
  • 3c = 50 - 5
  • 3c = 45
  • c = 45/3
  • c = 15

<u>Find the value of t:</u>

  • t = 15 + 5 = 20

<u>Answer:</u>

  • 20 taffy bags and 15 caramel candy bags

If 10a+10b=35, what is the average (arithmetic mean) of a and b?
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

If a  and b are two numbers, then their arithmetic mean is

\dfrac{a+b}{2}

Given:

10a+10b=35

Divide this equation by 10:

a+b=3.5

Now, divide it by 2:

\dfrac{a+b}{2}=\dfrac{3.5}{2}\\ \\\dfrac{a+b}{2}=1.75
