Answer:

  20 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Often, mixture problems are worked by writing two equations: one for the total quantity of constituents in the mix, and one for the total price of the mix. When these equations are solved by substitution, the first step is to write one quantity in terms of the other.

You can save an equation and a step by using one variable for quantity. It usually works best to let the variable represent the highest-cost (or most concentrated) contributor. Here, that is the quantity the problem asks for, so ...

Let c represent the number of pounds of cashews needed to be mixed with the peanuts. Then the revenue from selling the mix is ...

  80($1.50) +c($4.00) = (80+c)($2.00)

  120 +4c = 160 +2c . . . . . divide by $, simplify

  2c = 40 . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 120+2c from both sides

  c = 20 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

The manager should mix 20 pounds of cashews with the 80 pounds of peanuts.

MP3 players in the shipment which are likely to be defective is 330.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Probability is event of an occurrence which is uncertain.

• Probability always lies between 0 to 1.

• The sample of 50 MP3 has 6 defective, to solve it has to be converted.

• Convert percentage in 100 multiply numerator and denominator by 2.

• Result is 6/50 converted to 12/100, bring it to 0.12%.

• 12% is defected in 100% of sample.

• It is found here that 2750 is the population and 12% of 2750.

• 2750 * 0.12 = 330, defective pieces in 2750.

• There are three types of Classical,Empirical or Experimental.

• Classical are ‘n’ number of events find the probability occurrence.  

• Empirical or experimental is purely based on events.

What’s the answer to 6x + 3y =
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

The last answer; 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this, use substitution. Since it gives you an equation for y, substitute that equation in the other formula as y. This will give you:

6x+3(-2x+4)=?

Then simplify:

6x-6x+12=?

Since 6x - 6x cancels out, you are left with 12.

?=12\\
