A Michigan Orchard made 10,223 lb of taffy apples with approximately 1 lb Of tapis mixture for each 69.6 pounds of apples. To th
e nearest 10th of a pound how many pounds of apples and how many pounds of taffy were used
1 answer:
Answer:
Pounds of apple used = 10,078.20
Pounds of taffy = 144.80
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume :
x = pound of taffy mixture
y = pounds of apple mixture
Total :
x + y = 10,223 - - - (1)
Proportion of apple to taffy
x / y = 1 / 69.6
Cross multiply :
y = 69.6x
(1) becomes :
x + 69.6x = 10223
70.6x = 10223
x = 10223 / 70.6
x = 144.80169
Put x = 144.80169 in
y = 10223 - x
y = 10223 - 144.80169
y = 10078.19831
Pounds of apple used = 10,078.20
Pounds of taffy = 144.80

Answer:
y = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
3(у - 3) - 2(у -4) = 4
Distribute
3y -9 -2y +8 =4
Combine like terms
y -1 =4
Add 1 to each side
y-1+1 = 4+1
y = 5
