Answer: 40 pounds of cashews should be mixed with the peanuts to ensure no change in the revenue
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of pounds of cashews that should be mixed with the peanuts to ensure no change in the revenue.
The nut store normally sells cashews for $4.00 per pound and peanuts for $1.50 per pound.
In order to sell 60 pounds of peanuts, the manager decided to mix the 60 pounds of peanuts with some cashews and sell the mixture for $2.50 per pound. It means that
4x + (1.5 × 60) = 2.5(60 + x)
4x + 90 = 150 + 2.5x
4x - 2.5x = 150 - 90
1.5x = 60
x = 60/1.5
x = 40
Since the length of this rectangle is twice its breadth, the length is equal to 40 cm.
<h3>How to calculate the area of a rectangle?</h3>
Mathematically, the area of a rectangle can be calculated by using this formula:
Area = Length × Width
Based on the information provided, we have:
- Its length is decreased half of the 10 cm ⇒ (length - 5)
- Its breadth is increased by half of the 10 cm ⇒ (breadth + 5)
- Its area is increased by 75 cm ⇒ (area + 5)
Substituting the parameters into the formula, we have:
LB + 75 = (L - 5)(B + 5)
2B² + 75 = (2B - 5)(2B + 5)
2B² + 75 = 2B(B + 5) - 5(B + 5)
2B² + 75 = 2B² + 10B - 5B - 25
5B = 75 + 25
5B = 100
B = 100/20
B = 20 cm.
For the length, we have:
L = 2B
L = 2 × 20
L = 40 cm.
