I would say your friends assumption is wrong. Why?
Because, if you payed $2.40 for 3/4 pounds of grapes, your friend should pay more for an entire pound, not less.
Hope this helped! c:
Answer:
y= -3x +10
the y-intercept is at 10 and then go 3 down one to the right
Step-by-step explanation:
2y -3 >-1
2y > 2
y > 1
OR
1 > Y
Y < 1
Since it is only one, D is the correct answer
Answer:
(A)129 Pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of 23% zink alloy
Therefore:
Since the total result is 516 pounds
The number of pounds of 42% zink alloy =516-x pounds
We then have the resulting equation:
0.23x+0.42(516-x)=0.3725*516
0.23x+216.72-0.42x=192.21
Colect like terms
0.23x-0.42x=192.21-216.72
-0.19x=-24.51
Divide both sides by 129
x=129 pounds
Therefore, the number of pounds of 23% zink alloy that must be mixed is 129 pounds.
