Answer:
18 is the greatest common factor between those
Step-by-step explanation:
y cannot be determined from the information given
The cost of the mixture is $69 *$1 = $69. If all 69 pounds were peanuts, the cost would be 69*$0.99 = $68.31, which is $0.69 less. Each pound of walnuts used instead of peanuts adds $0.03 to the cost of the mixture, so there were $0.69/$0.03 = 23 pounds of walnuts.
<span>_____ </span>
<span>Let w represent the number of pounds of walnuts in the mixture. Then 69-w is the number of pounds of peanuts. The cost of the mixture will be </span>
<span>1.02w + 0.99(69-w) = 1.00*69 dollars </span>
<span>0.03w + 68.31 = 69.00 </span>
<span>w = (69.00 - 68.31)/0.03 = 0.69/0.03 = 23</span>
Answer:
Dennis paid $82 and Connie paid $46.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can set up an equation by putting in variables, c representing how much Connie paid. Since we know that Dennis paid $36 more, we will also factor that in the equation.
c + c + 36 = 128
Where c + 36 represents the amount Dennis paid, and 128 represents the total amount paid as given in the question. We can start by adding like terms. 2c + 36 = 128
Now, we can subtract 36 from each side,
2c + 36 - 36 = 128 - 36
2c = 92
Divide each side by two,
2c/2 = 92/2
c = 46
Now, to make sure this is correct, let's substitute our c for 46 in our equation:
46 + 46 + 36 = 128
92 + 36 = 128
128 = 128
Therefore, our equation is correct, and Dennis paid $82 while Connie paid $46.
