Pounds will be represented by x and the cost will be represented by y. The equation is Y=3x. For the graph just use substition for x and then calculate the outcome and graph it.
Assuming that the mix disolves into the 20 gallons and doesn't take up space
1:2
x:20
1/2=x/20
multiply btoh sides by 20
10=x
answer is 10 cups of mixture
Total Area = Lateral Area + Area of the Ends
Total Area = Height * Width * Number of Sides + Area of the 2 ends
Good luck to Jonathan. I hope he gets his sport set soon.
