Answer:
Jelly beans: $6 for 1 kg
Gummy worms: $7 for 1 kg
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we need to find the cost of 1kg of jelly beans and gummy worms.
To do this, make equations for both scenarios and solve:
2j + 2g = 26
2j + 3g = 33
Turn the bottom equation negative, as we will first solve for gummy worms (g).
2j + 2g = 26
-2j - 3g = -33
Solve:
-g = -7
Divide both sides by -1.
g = 7
We now know that gummy worms cost $7 for 1 kg
To solve for jellybeans (j), plug in 7 to g in one of the equations and solve:
2j + 2(7) = 26
2j + 14 = 26
Subtract 14 from both sides.
2j = 12
Divide both sides by 2.
j = 6
Jellybeans cost $6 for 1 kg.
Check answer by plugging in values to one of the equations:
2(6) + 2(7) = 26
12 + 14 = 26
26 = 26
Answer:
which class question is this
Answer:
Second option. "Sue wants to cover the lid of a box with paper. How much paper should she buy?"
Explanation:
The first option relies upon volume.
The last two options relies on side lengths.
The second option is relies on area because you have to calculate the area of the lid to know how much paper can be used to cover it.
Given:
let h be the high quality bean
let c be the cheaper bean
h + c = 160
6h + 3.25c = 160*4.97
6h + 3.25c = 795.20
h = 160 - c
6(160 - c) + 3.25c = 795.20
960 - 6c + 3.25c = 795.20
-2.75c = 795.20 - 960
-2.75c = -164.80
c = -164.80 / -2.75
c = 59.92 or 60 lbs
h = 160 - c
h = 160 - 60
h = 100 lbs
Sarah should blend 60 lbs of cheap coffee bean and 100 lbs of high quality coffee bean.
