The company charges $3.50 per pound for peanuts and $7.50 per pound for almonds. It also charges a flat fee of $13 for shipping and handling.

To Find :

Which equation can be used to find p, the number of pounds of peanuts Bentano buys.

Solution :

Price of peanuts + Price of almonds + Delivery charge = Total amount

3.5p + 7.5( 30 - p ) + 13 = 170

Comparing the answers with given options, the matching answer is option D).

Three more than 8 times a number is 29. Find the number.
yanalaym [24]
Well, first off, to solve for this, we can write the expression and then solve from there.
Expression: 8x + 3 = 29
So, now that we have our expression, we can solve for our missing number using the balancing method.
8x + 3 = 29
8x + 3 - 3 = 29 - 3 (we subtracted the three because we needed to get rid of the three on the left side of the equation do now we are just left with 8x = 26.
8x = 26
8x/8 = 26/8. (So, the 8 on the left side cancels out and we are just left with X.
X = 26/8
X = 13/4
X = 3 and 1/4
So, in conclusion, the answer to this question is: X = 3 and 1/4 as a mixed number or 13/4 as an improper fraction.
Glad I could help!

I spent 3/4 of my money and then I spent 1/5 of what was left.
Monica [59]

Answers:

a) 4/5

b) 1/5

================================================

Let's say you start off with $100. If you spend 3/4 of that, then you spend 75 dollars (because 75/100 = 3/4). Think of it like 75 cents = 3 quarters. If you spend 75 dollars out of 100 total, then you have 100-75 = 25 dollars left after the first round of spending.

If you spend 1/5th of what is left, then you spend $5 on the second round leaving 25-5 = 20 dollars left at the end of the day.

Total up what you spend for both rounds: 75+5 = 80, which divides over the original amount 100 to get 80/100 = 8/10 = 4/5

If you had 20 dollars at he end of the day, out of 100 initially, then 20/100 = 2/10 = 1/5 is the fraction of what you have left.

note how 4/5 and 1/5 add to 5/5 = 1.00 = 100%. This is because the amount you spend and the amount you have left over must add to 100% of all the money you started with
