Answer:
Number of pounds of cashews = x = 14.96 pounds
Number of pounds of Brazil nuts = y = 19.04 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us represent:
Number of pounds of cashews = x
Number of pounds of Brazil nuts = y
The nut shack sells cashews for $6.00 per pound and Brazil nuts for $5.00 per pound. How much of each type should be used to make a 34 pound mixture that sells for $5.44 per pound
Our system of equations is given as:
x + y = 34...... Equation 1
x = 34 - y
6x + 5y = 34 × 5.44
6x + 5y = 184.96.......Equation 2
Ww substitute : 34 - y for x in Equation 2
6(34 - y) + 5y = 184.96
204 - 6y + 5y = 184.96
Collect like terms
- 6y + 5y = 184.96 - 204
-y = -19.04
y = 19.04 pounds
Solving for x
x = 34 - y
x = 34 - 19.04
x = 14.96 pounds
Number of pounds of cashews = x = 14.96 pounds
Number of pounds of Brazil nuts = y = 19.04 pounds
Answer:
D. 70°
Step-by-step explanation:
the sum of the unknown angle and 110° is 180 °
so, let the unknown angle be x
x+110 = 180
x = 180-110
x = 70°
You want to know how long it'll take for the bacteria to grow
to (800/500) = 1.6 times their initial population.
The number of double-times it'll take is
[ log(1.6) / (log(2) ] = 0.6781 .
The double-time for these particular critters is 12 hours,
so it'll take them
0.6781 x 12 hours = 8.137 hours
= 8 hours 8.2 minutes .
