a grocer has to sell two kinds of candy, one selling for 40 cents a pound and the other for $1.40 per pound. how many pounds of each kind must he use to make 100 pounds worth 85 cents a pound

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$1.40 candy: 45 pounds$0.40 candy: 55 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of the more expensive candy. Then the price of the mix is ...

  1.40x +0.40(100 -x) = 0.85(100)

  x +40 = 85 . . . . . . simplify

  x = 45 . . . . . . . . subtract 40

  100 -x = 55 . . . pounds of cheaper candy

The grocer must use 45 pounds of $1.40 candy and 55 pounds of $0.40 candy to make the mix.

Ricky is 5 years older than Ciara. In 6 years the sum of their ages will be 53. How old is Ricky now

Answers

Answer:

23 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:
Ricky is 5 years older than Ciara...
6 years their ages will equal 53 years of age.

So, we have to remember that in six years their ages will equal 53 and one is five years older than the other.

[tex]23+6=29[/tex]
[tex]18+6=24[/tex]
[tex]29-5=24[/tex]
[tex]29+24=53[/tex]
[tex]29-6=23[/tex]
[tex]=23[/tex]

Which means Ricky as of right now is "23 years of age" and Ciara as of right now is "18 years of age".

Answer:

It's 5

Step-by-step explanation:

-4x+5=-15 (subtract 5)

-4x=-20 (divide by -4)

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Work backwards. First, create a function:

f(x) = x

First, instead of adding 5, subtract it:

f(x) = x - 5

Then, divide by -4:

f(x) = (x - 5) ÷ -4

Then plug in -15:

f(-15) = (-15 - 5) ÷ 4

= -20 ÷ -4

= 20 ÷ 4

= 5

martin works in a furniture store. he earns a base salary of $1,800 per month, plus a 15% commission on the amount of furniture sales he makes during the month. if martin needs to earn at least 3,000 each month to pay his expenses, what is the minimum amount of furniture sales he must make each month?

Answers

Answer:

$8000

Step-by-step explanation:

With the provided values you get the equation

1800+.15x=3000

with x being the amount of sales he needs

1. 3000-1800=1200

gives 1200=.15x

2. 1200/.15 = 8000

so x = 8000

Rational expressions are expressions that can be represented as fractions

The solution to the sum of the rational expressions is [tex]\frac{5x^2 + 7x + 49}{x^2 + 7x}[/tex]

How to determine the error

The student operation is given as:

[tex]\frac { 5 x } { x + 7 } + \frac { 7} { x } = \frac { 5 x } { x + 7 } + \frac { 7 ( 7 ) } { x + 7 } = \frac{5x + 49}{x + 7}[/tex]

The student's error is that, he multiplied the numerator of 7/x by 7, and he added 7 to the denominator

The correction is as follows:

[tex]\frac { 5 x } { x + 7 } + \frac { 7} { x }[/tex]

Take the LCM

[tex]\frac { 5 x } { x + 7 } + \frac { 7} { x } = \frac{5x^2 + 7(x + 7)}{(x + 7)x}[/tex]

Open the brackets

[tex]\frac { 5 x } { x + 7 } + \frac { 7} { x } = \frac{5x^2 + 7x + 49}{x^2 + 7x}[/tex]

Hence, the solution to the sum of the rational expressions is [tex]\frac{5x^2 + 7x + 49}{x^2 + 7x}[/tex]

The points (2, 5) and (6,-3) fall on a particular line. What is its equation in slope-intercept form?

y = -2
x+ ?

Answers

Answer:

y = -2x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

slope intercept form : y = mx + b

where m = slope and b = y intercept

first let's find the slope

slope formula :

[tex]m = ( \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} )[/tex]

where the x and y values are derived from the given points

here we are given (2,5) and (6,-3)

(x1,y1) = (2,5) so x1 = 2 and y1 = 5

(x2,y2) = (6,-3) so x2 = 6 and y2 = -3

we now plug these values into the formula

recall formula

[tex]m= ( \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} )[/tex]

plug in x1 = 2, y1 = 5, x2 = 6 and y2 = -3

m = (-3 - 5) / ( 6 - 2 )

m = (-8)/(4)

m = -2

the slope is -2

now to find the y intercept we plug in the slope and the x and y value of a given point into slope intercept form and solve for b

y = mx + b

given point : (2,5) x = 2 , y = 5, m = -2

5 = -2(2) + b

5 = -4 + b

9 = b

so the equation would be y = -2x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Paulo has R$80.00 and Carlos has 2/3of that amount. How many Carlos has? How many do the two have together?

We are given

Paulo has R$ 80.00 and Carlos has 2/3 of that amount.

We are asked to find, how much Carlos owns and how much they have together.

Explanation :-

At first, we just need to multiply 80by 2, and then we will divide the value by 3, so we find that:

[tex]\qquad[/tex][tex] \bf \longrightarrow 80 \times 2 = 160[/tex]

[tex]\qquad[/tex][tex] \bf \longrightarrow \dfrac{160}{3} = 53.3[/tex]

Therefore, we find that Carlos has 53.3 R$.

Now to find out how much they have together. We have to add Paul's amount to Carlos' amount for that.

[tex]\qquad[/tex][tex] \bf \longrightarrow 53.3 +80 =133.3[/tex]

Henceforth, they both have 133.3 R$. together.
