Answer:

  • Walnuts - $1.25, chocolate chips - $3.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let walnuts = x, chocolate chips = y

<u>Set a system and solve:</u>

  • 3x + 5y = 20
  • 6x + 2y = 14

<u>Double the first equation and subtract the second one from it:</u>

  • 6x + 10y - 6x - 2y = 40 - 14
  • 8y = 26
  • y = 26/8
  • y = 3.25

<u>Find the value of x:</u>

  • 6x + 3.25*2 = 14
  • 6x = 14 - 6.5
  • 6x = 7.5
  • x = 7.5/6
  • x = 1.25

Consider circle H below.
hram777 [196]

We have been given a circle H, in which length of arc XY is 78 miles and measure of arc XY is 70 degrees. We are asked to find the radius of circle.

We will use arc length formula to solve our given problem.

\text{Arc length}=2\pi r\cdot \frac{\theta}{360^{\circ}}, where,

r = Radius of circle,

\theta = Central angle corresponding to arc.

We know that the measure of central angle that corresponds to arc XY will be equal to measure of arc XY.

78=2\cdot 3.14\cdot r\cdot \frac{70^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}}

78=2\cdot 3.14\cdot  r\cdot \frac{7}{36}

78= 3.14\cdot r\cdot \frac{7}{18}

78= r\cdot \frac{21.98}{18}

r\cdot \frac{21.98}{18}=78

r\cdot \frac{21.98}{18}\cdot \frac{18}{21.98}=78\cdot \frac{18}{21.98}

r=63.8762511373

Upon rounding to nearest hundredth, we will get:

r\approx 63.88

Therefore, the radius of circle H is approximately 63.88 miles.
