Answer:
18.98 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'e' represent the number of pounds of expensive candy Ellen should use. Then 27-e is the number of pounds of less expensive candy. Her total cost is ...
1.45(27 -e) +3.74e = 27(3.06)
(3.74 -1.45)e = 27(3.06 -1.45) . . . . subtract 1.45(27)
e = 27(3.06 -1.45)/(3.74 -1.45) = 27(1.61/2.29) ≈ 18.98
Ellen should use about 18.98 pounds of the expensive candy.

<em>Additional comment</em>
We showed the solution this way because it is the generic solution to any mix problem. The fraction of the mix that is the highest-value contributor is the ratio of the difference between the mix value and the lowest contributor to the difference between contributors. Here, that fraction is ...
(3.06 -1.45)/(3.74 -1.45) = (1.61/2.29)
Answer: $1000
Step-by-step explanation:
Annual demand (D) = 8000
Cost per order (S) = $1000
Cost per unit to print = $8 per book
Storage cost = $2 per book per year
The minimum total cost can be found thus :
√(2 × D × S) / storage cost * cost per unit
√(2 × 8000 × 1000) / (2 * 8)
√ (16,000,000 / 16
√ (1,000,000
= 1000
Hence , minimum total cost $1000
Answer: -x
step-by-step explanation:
convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions 125/6 = 77/6
77/6x-14x+1/6x
77/6x-14x+1/6x = -1 times x
= 1 times x
multiply 1 times x = x
= x
Answer:
The answer 2.456*10^11
Step-by-step explanation:
To to this we have to count how many decimals from the back of the number
245,600,000,000
We can actually count 11 decimal points from the back
Hence in standard form or scientific notation we have
2.456*10^11
