Answer:

  (a)  306 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of sugar to the total is ...

  sugar : (sugar + butter) = (2 1/4) : (2 1/4 + 3/8)

  = (18/8) : (18/8 +3/8) = 18 : 21 = 6 : 7

Then the amount of sugar in the baker's initial is ...

  (6/7) × 357 = 306 . . . . pounds

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

If you realize that 2 1/4 is much more than 3/8, then you realize most of the mix is sugar. Of the answer choices, the only one that is most of 357 pounds is the first one: 306 pounds. That is the correct choice. In other words, your sense of the quantities involved is sufficient to answer the question, without any math.

What is the value of n in the equation 0.2(n - 6) = 2.8?<br> (1) 8 (3) 20<br> (2) 2 (4) 44
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
So,

0.2(n - 6) = 2.8

Distribute.
0.2n - 1.2 = 2.8

Add 1.2 to both sides.
0.2n = 4

Divide both sides by .2.
n = 20

Check.
0.2(20 - 6) = 2.8

Simplify inside parentheses.
0.2(14) = 2.8

Multiply.
2.8 = 2.8 This checks.

S = {2.8}
