The owner of a grocery store wants to mix two kinds of candy together to make 15 lb that he can sell for $5.00 per lb. He wants to use chocolate candies that he sells for $7.00 per lb and sugar candies that he sells for $2.00 per lb. How many pounds of each should the owner use?
_ pounds of chocolate candies
_ pounds of sugar candies
=OWO=

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 9 pounds of chocolate and 6 pounds of sugar candies

Let's define the variables:

C = pounds of chocolate candies used.

S = pounds of sugar candies used.

We know that he wants to make a total of 15lb, then:

C + S = 15

We also want that the price per pound to be equal to 5$.

This means that the price of the 15 pounds will be the same as the price of the un-mixed candies.

C*$7.00 + $2.00*S = $5.00*15

Then we have a system of equations:

C + S = 15

C*$7.00 + $2.00*S = $5.00*15

To solve this system, we need to start by isolating one of the variables, i will isolate C in the first equation:

C = 15 - S

now we can replace that in the other equation:

(15 - S)*$7.00 + $2.00*S = $5.00*15

Now we can solve this for S.

$105 - $5.00*S = $75

$105 - $75 = $5.00*S

$30 = $5.00*S

$30/$5 = S = 6

Then there are 6 pounds of sugar candy, and we can use the equation:

C + S = 15

C + 6 = 15

C = 15 - 6 = 9

There are 9 pounds of chocolate candy in the mix.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

By writing and solving a system of equations, we will see that the owner must use 6 lb of the chocolate candies and 9 lb of the sugar candies.

Let's define two variables:

x = pounds of chocolate candies usedy = pounds of sugar candies used.

Then, using the given information, we will have that:

x + y = 15

x*$7.00 + y*$2.00 = $5.00*15

If we isolate x in the first equation we get:

x = 15 - y

Now we can replace that in the second equation to get:

(15 - y)*$7.00 + y*$2.00 = $75

$105 - y*$5.00 = $75

$105 - $75  = y*$5.00

$30 = y*$5.00

$30/$5 = y = 6

So the owner must use 6 pounds of the chocolate candies, and the other 9 pounds of the sugar candies.

Answer:

There are 625 trees in the park.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that there are x trees in the park

∵ The number of trees in the park = x

27% of them are oaks

16% are pins

33% of them are banyans

∵ The remaining are willows

→ The percentage of the total number of trees is 100%

∴ The percent of the remaining = 100% - (27 + 16 + 33)%

∴ The percent of the remaining = 100% - 76%

The percent of the remaining = 24%

∵ The number of willows trees = 150

24% of x = 150

∴ 24% × x = 150

→ Change the percent to a decimal by divide it by 100

∵ 24% = [tex]\frac{24}{100}[/tex] = 0.24

∴ 0.24 × x = 150

∴ 0.24x = 150

→ Divide both sides by 0.24

x = 625

There are 625 trees at the park.

Complete Question:

Let x and y be positive integers and x be greater than y.

11x/11y = ?

Answer:

11x/11y = x/y

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x > y

Required

11x/11y

From the question, we understand that x is greater than y (i.e. x > y)

Also, we'll assume that y ≠ 0, in other not to result in an undefined result.

So,

11x/11y

Divide the numerator and denominator by 11

(11x ÷ 11)/(11y ÷ 11)

The result of the division is:

(x)/(y)

x/y

Hence,

11x/11y = x/y for x > y and y ≠ 0

A bus traveled on a level road for 2 hours at an average speed 20 miles per hour faster than it traveled on a winding road. The time spent on the winding road was 4 hours. Find the average speed on level road of the entire trip was 310 miles

Answers

Answer:

The average speed on level road is 65 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed on the winding road be x mph

So the speed on the straight road will be x +20 mph

Mathematically, distance = speed * time

Distance on level road will be;

(x + 20)2

Distance on winding road will be;

x* 4 = 4x

Thus, we have;

2(x + 20) + 4x = 310

2x + 40 + 4x = 310

6x + 40 = 310

6x = 310 - 40

6x = 270

x = 270/6

x = 45 mph

The average speed on the level road is x + 20

That will be 45 + 20 = 65 mph

first, i’d put the fraction into a decimal, then distribute, for example the fraction would be multiplied by y and 3 separately. then equal that to 40. it should now be a simple equation

Answer:

y = 69

Step-by-step explanation:

start with the distributive property:

5/9 * y and 5/9 * 3

and now you have: 5/9y + 15/9 = 40

and we have to isolate y so subtract 15/9 from both sides:

5/9y + 15/9 = 40

        - 15/9     -15/9

and now you have 5/9y = 345/9

and now divide both sides by 5/9 so: 5/9y divided by 5/9 = y

and 345/9 divided by 5/9 = 345/5 and lets simplify....

y= 69
