Answer:

Acording to the question,

Cost per cup = $1.29

Total number of cups = 12

Total cost of cups = 12 x 1.2 = $15.48

Cost of candies = $2.49 per cup

Total number of candies = x

Cost of nuts = $0.69 per cup

Total number of nuts = y

Equations :

x + y = 12    (because total cups of nuts and candies will be equal to 12)

2.49x + 0.69y = 15.48    (Total cost of the 12 cups should be 15.48)  

<u>Step 1 : Find x in terms of y</u>

x = 12 - y

<u>Step 2 : substitute x in terms of y from step 1 in the second equation</u>

2.49x + 0.69y = 15.48

2.49 ( 12 - y) + 0.69y = 15.48

29.88 - 2.49y + 0.69y = 15.48

-1.8y = -14.4

y = 14.4/1.8

y = 8

Step 3 : Find x

x + y = 12

x = 12 - y

x = 12- 8

x = 4

Thus,Yumi should use 4 cups of candies and 8 cups of nuts.

joja [24]
Assuming that the given shape is a cuboid, 

volume=l×w×h

v=s³ (since cuboids have same length, they have same side length) 

62=s³
∛62=s 
s=3.957 ≈ 4 units

What is the amount of interest earned with a deposit of 7,000 at 6.5% for 120 days
aev [14]
The interest figure always means the interest for a year.

120 days is 1/3 of a year, so you'll only earn 1/3 of 6.5% .

6.5%  =  0.065

1/3 of that is 0.02167 .

(0.02167) x (7,000) =  151.67
