Answer:

5.60 pounds each

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the dry mixture problem.

Let x = the number of pounds of the first type of candy

Therefore, number of pounds of second type of candy = 10-x

Value of first candy + value of second candy = value of mixture

Value of any candy = cost per pound of candy * weight of candy

Thus:

4x + 6(10 - x) = 5.60(10)

4x + 60 - 6x = 56

-2x + 60 = 56

-2x = -4

x = -4/-2

x = 2

Therefore, the number of pounds of first type of candy = 2 pounds

The number of pounds of second type of candy = 10 - 2 = 8 pounds

Check

$4(2) + $6(8) =

           8 + 48 = $5.60(10)

               $56 = $56

r of circle= 4

A= 3.14(4²)

Coach Johnson need to buy shin guards for junior varsity and varsity basketball players the following package of shin guards are
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

$1.50

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the best deal, we first want to consider price per unit. To find the price per unit, we divide the price by the number of units. For the 10 shin guard package, our price is 14.50, and we divide that by 10 to get 1.45 . Therefore, our unit price for the package of 10 is $1.45 per shin guard. Similarly, we can find the unit price for the package of 15 to be 22.5/15 = $1.50 per shin guard. As 1.50 is greater than 1.45, the lowest unit price is for the package of 10.

The question is asking for us to compare the prices if we bought 30 of each. For the package of 10, we get 1.45*30 (as we're buying 30 for 1.45) = 43.5 as the total price, and for the package of 15, we get 1.5*30 = 45 as our price. As 15 and 10 are both factors of 30, we don't need to worry about converting it back into packages of 10/15. The difference between buying 30 at the lowest and highest unit price is therefore (45-43.5)=1.5 dollars
