Beans A= x
Beans B=(110-x)
0.08x+0.32(110-x) = 0.27(110)
Solve for x
0.08x+35.20-0.32x = 29.70
0.08x-0.32x=29.7-35.2
−0.24x=−5.5
X=5.5÷0.24
X=22.9 of Beans A
110−22.9=87.1 of Beans B
This is reasonable if one can weigh beans to the nearest tenth of a pound.
Hope it helps:-)
All three of these numbers share one number in common. Nine. Each of these numbers can equally be divided by 9.
9 x 3 = 27
9 x 7 = 63
9 x 19 = 171
If there were 9 gift bags made, there would be 3 erasers, 7 pencils, and 19 pens in each bag.
