Answer: 2 lbs of cherries
Cherries = $5 per pound
Oranges = $2 per pound
Total Cost = $18
Total weight = 6 lb
------------------------------------
Define x and y
------------------------------------
Let x be the number of lb of cherries
Let y be the number of lb of oranges
------------------------------------
Construct equations
------------------------------------
x + y = 6 ---------------------------- (1)
5x + 2y = 18 ---------------------------- (2)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solve x and y
------------------------------------------------------------------------
From equation (1):
x + y = 6
x = 6 - y
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute x = 6 - y into equation 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5x + 2y = 18
5 (6 - y) + 2y = 18
30 - 5y + 2y = 18
3y = 30 - 18
3y = 12
y = 4
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Substitute y = 4 into equation (1)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
x + y = 6
x + 4 = 6
x = 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the weight of cherries and oranges
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cherry = x = 2 lb
Oranges = y = 4 lbs

Answer:
D. 29.75
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine the mean, you must add up all the numbers and then divide that number by how many numbers you added.
Here,
21 + 23 + 35 + 40
= 119
You added 4 numbers (21, 23, 35, 40),
so, 119 / 4
= 29.75
Hope this helps and a thank won't hurt! :)
Answer: 0.88
Step-by-step explanation:
Let C is the event of drinking coffee, T is the event of drinking tea and M is the event of drinking milk.
Thus, when we make the Venn diagram of the given situation according to the given information,
Total number of people = 50
Number of people who like coffee, tea and milk = 19
Number of people who like coffee, tea but not milk = 16
Number of people who like coffee, milk but not tea = 2
Number of people who like tea, milk but not coffee = 5
Thus, the number of people who like tea only = Total people - (people who like coffee, tea but not milk + people who like coffee, tea and milk + the one who only like tea and milk but not coffee)
= 50 - ( 16 + 19 + 5) = 50 - 46 = 4
Thus, Total number of the person who like milk = 16 + 19 + 5 + 4 = 44
⇒ Probability that this person likes tea = 
=
