Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
- Let (applicable to all three lines below)
- Hard candy = x kg with price $1.60/kg
- Gummy worms = y kg with price $2.20/kg
- Total weight = 50 kg with mixed price $1.75/kg
<u>Required equations:</u>
- x + y = 50 total weight
- 1.60x + 2.20y = 50*1.75 total price
=========================================
<u><em>Note</em></u><em>. It says don't solve but the solution below for those who is interested to know the answer.</em>
<u>Simplify the second equation and solve by substitution x = 50 - y:</u>
- 1.6(50 - y) + 2.2y = 87.5
- 80 - 1.6y +2.2y = 87.5
- 0.6y = 7.5
- y = 7.5/0.6
- y = 12.5
<u>Find the value of x:</u>
<u>Hard candy</u> = 37.5 kg and <u>gummy worms</u> = 12.5 kg

Step-by-step explanation:
20%. 53.17 times .8 is 42.54 meaning there's a 20% decrease
Hi!
The correct answer is : $8 + (2 x $6) = m, because he bought one bag of sand and two packs of vitamin pellets.
Hope this helps!
Area of a triangle is = 0.5bh
if the height (h) is 4 less than base (b) then h = b - 4
48 = 0.5(b)(b - 4)
48/0.5 = b² - 4b
96 = b² - 4b
b² - 4b - 96 = 0
(b + 8)(b - 12) = 0
b must be either -8 or 12
since a distance can't be negative that means
the base is 12
