Answer:
1) 9x-4
Step-by-step explanation:
7x+2x= 9x
-8+4= -4
9x-4
It makes the addition easier if you combine like terms like the two 1/2s and then make them all have the denominator of 12 (changing the numerators to equal it out)
Y = -5x +18
x can be any number, y can be change due to x value
Cherry sales as a % of total sales = (0.5 x 1.2)/(0.5 x 1.2 + 0.2 x 1.4 + 0.3 x 1.6) = 0.6 / (0.6 + 0.28 + 0.48) = 0.6 / 1.36 = 0.4412 = 44.12%
Therefore, 44.12% of the total sales will be cherry.
