Since "p" represents the number of pounds of peanuts and:

4.05p + 14.40 = 4.50(p + 3) [then by distributing we have:

4.05p + 14.40 = 4.50p + 13.5 [then by subtracting 13.5 from both sides we have:

4.05p + 0.9 = 4.50p [then by subtracting 4.05p from both sides we have:

0.9 = 0.45p [then by dividing both sides by 0.45 we have:

2 = p

So there are 2 pounds of peanuts needed for the trail mix.

A store has clearance items that have been marked down by 40%. They are having a sale, advertising an additional 45% off clearan

Answer:

$P_2 = (1-0.45) *0.6 P_o =0.55*0.60 P_o=0.33 P_o$

So the discount is 33% and we are paying 67% of the value. The reason is given by the relative change:

$\% Change = \frac{|0.33P_o -P_o|}{P_o}*100 =67\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have a first discount of 40% so then using this condition and assuming that $P_o$ represent the initial price, the price after the first discount $P_1$ is given by:

$P_1 = (1-0.4) P_o =0.6P_o$

That means 60% of the original value.

Now we have another discount of 45% for the 60% reamining after a 2 discount so let's $P_2$ represent the price after the second disccount we can can express this price in terms of $P_1$ or $P_o$ liek this:
