Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of 3-lb bags purchased. Then the total purchase was ...
$2(8 -x) +$5.50(x) = $37
16 +3.50x = 37 . . . . . . . . . divide by $, collect terms
3.50x = 21 . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 16
21/3.50 = x = 6 . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
You bought 6 3-lb bags of peanuts and 2 1-lb bags.
2 2/3 = [(2*3)+2]/3 =8/3
(8/3)/5=8/(3*5)=8/15
The ratio of the trout with tags that are caught and the total trout with tags is first calculated.
r = 12 trout / 180 trout = 1/15
Then, we divide the number of trouts caught without tag by the value obtained above.
N = (48 - 12) / (1/15) = 540
Then, we add the number obtained above and 180.
T = 540 + 180 = 720
ANSWER: 720
