Answer:

C) 6 lbs peanuts, 3 lbs almonds, 2 lbs raisins

Step-by-step explanation:

Your goal is to find out how many of each item will equate to 21 dollars. Your function is as follows:

1.5x+3y+1.5z=21

Where x, y, z are peanuts, almonds, raisins respectively (in that order). 21 is the total cost of the mixture.

All you have to do is start plugging in the variables given in the answer choices.

<u>A) Peanuts (x) = 3, Almonds (y) = 6, Raisins (z) = 2</u>

Everywhere you see x,y,z, you replace with their value.

1.5x+3y+1.5z=21\\1.5(3)+3(6)+1.5(2)=21\\4.5+12+3=21\\\\19.5 \neq 21

A doesn't equal 21. On to the next one.

<u>B) Peanuts (x) = 8, Almonds (y) = 6, Raisins (z) = 2</u>

Everywhere you see x,y,z, you replace with their value.

1.5x+3y+1.5z=21\\1.5(8)+3(1)+1.5(2)=21\\12+3+3=21\\\\18 \neq 21

B also doesn't equal 21. On to the next one...

<u>C) Peanuts (x) = 6, Almonds (y) = 3, Raisins (z) = 2</u>

Everywhere you see x,y,z you replace with their value.

1.5x+3y+1.5z=21\\1.5(6)+3(3)+1.5(2)=21\\9+9+3=21\\\\\\21 = 21

Both sides of the equation equal 21 which means C is our answer.

An item that cost $5.50 is marked up %60. What is the new price of the item after the markup? Show work please​
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

$8.80

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the new price, you need to add 60% of the original price (5.50) to the original price. You have two options:

1) multiply $5.50*0.6 to get 60% of the original price. You would get $3.30. Then add $3.30+$5.50, which equals $8.80. This way takes longer but shows you all the steps.

2) The shorter way is to simply multiply $5.50*1.6, which also equals $8.80. This works because the "1" automatically adds the 5.50 to 60% of the original price, this way you don't have to multiply then add.

If you don't understand how the second way works or your teacher taught you #1, just do it the first way.
