Answer: Jenny's aunt should buy 4 pounds of pecans.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of almonds that Jenny's aunt should buy.

Let y represent the number of pounds of pecans that Jenny's aunt should buy.

She wants to buy 6 pounds of nuts. This means that

x + y = 6

If almonds cost $7 per pound and pecans cost $9 per pound and she wants to spend $50, it means that

7x + 9y = 50- - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 6 - y into equation 1, it becomes

7(6 - y) + 9y = 50

42 - 7y + 9y = 50

- 7y + 9y = 50 - 42

2y = 8

y = 8/2

y = 4

x = 6 - y = 6 - 4

x = 2

Problem Solving
N76 [4]

you're absolutely correct.

each system is sold for $2150, that includes cost + markup, namely the markup is the surplus amount otherwise called "profit".

they sold 12 of those, 2150 * 12 = 25800

they had $4824.36 in profits from it, so if we subtract that from the sale price, we'll be left with the cost of all 12 systems

25800 - 4824.36 = 20975.64

that's the cost for all 12 systems sold, how many times does 12 go into 20975.64?  20975.64 ÷ 12 = 1747.97.

Semenov [28]

Answer:

6 Cut Minimum

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

You have a 3x3x3 cube.

  1. First make two cuts parallel to base of the cube each at a distance of 1 unit . This leaves you with three cuboids of dimensions 3x3x1.
  2. Now make two parallel cuts parallel to the height of the cube. This leaves you with nine cuboids of dimensions 3x1x1.
  3. Now make the final two cuts each 1 unit apart parallel to width and you are left with 27 cubes of 1x1x1.

So , the final answer is 6 cuts.
