Marcy needs to make 5 lb of a cashew/raisin mixture for a party. Her local grocery store sells raisins for $4.50/lb and cashews for $9.50/lb. How many pounds of raisins and cashews should she buy if she wants to spend $40? Enter your answers in the boxes. raisins: lb cashews: lb

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Pounds of raisins = 1.5 lb

Pounds of cashew = 3.5 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Pounds of raisins = x

Pounds of cashew = y

x + y = 5 (1)

4.50x + 9.50y = 40 (2)

From (1)

x = 5 - y

Substitute x = 5 - y into

4.50x + 9.50y = 40

4.50(5 - y) + 9.50y = 40

22.50 - 4.50y + 9.50y = 40

- 4.50y + 9.50y = 40 - 22.50

5y = 17.5

y = 17.5 / 5

= 3.5

y = 3.5lb

Substitute y = 3.5 into

x + y = 5

x + 3.5 = 5

x = 5 - 3.5

= 1.5

x = 1.5lb

Pounds of raisins = 1.5 lb

Pounds of cashew = 3.5 lb

Solve the inequality 2.5d+11.4<-1.3d solve the inequality

Answers

Answer:

d < -3

Step-by-step explanation:

2.5d+11.4<-1.3d

3.8d+11.4<0

3.8d<-11.4

d < -3

Just isolate and solve for x and remember, what you do to one side, you must do to the other.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

[tex]d < -3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign:

[tex]2.5d < - 1.3d - 11.4[/tex]

Move the variable to the left-hand side and change its signs:

[tex]2.5d + 1.3d < 11.4[/tex]

Collect like terms:

[tex]3.8d < - 11.4[/tex]

Divide both sides of the inequality by 3.8:

[tex]3.8 \div - 11.4 = - 3[/tex]

Therefore, the answer is d < -3.

Answers

Answer:

Answer:

D) 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Assumption method:

Assume all are postcards.

Total cost of postcards = 10 × $1

                                       = $10

Difference between total = $22 - $10

                                          = $12

Difference between subjects = $3 - $1

                                                 = $2

No. of magnets = $12 ÷ $2

On a field trip, there are 3 chaperones for every 20 students. There are 92 people on the trip. Answer these questions. If you get stuck, consider using a tape diagram.



How many chaperones are there?

Answers

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

20 times four is 80 so we already have 12 chaperones because there are 3 chaperones for every 20 students.

20 divided by 3 is 6.6

We cannot have .6 of a chaperone so we round up to 7

And since 7 can only go into 20 two times

That means there are two more chaperones

2+12 is 14

There are 14 chaperones for the 92 students

(Hope this helps and hope im right)

Answer:

80(students)

12(chaperons)

Step-by-step explanation:

since total of 92 people in the trip including student and chaperon,add groups of 23 to become 92 or use this equation:

(20+3)×y=92

23y=92

y=92/23

y=4

therefore,

20×4=80(students)

3×4=12(chaperons)

interest rates.
(a) 2%
(b) 3%
(c) 4.5%
(d) 7%

Answers

Answer:

a) $1920, b) $2880, c) $4320, d) $6720

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Interest = Principal(Rate)(time)/100

  Interest = $8000(12)(2)/100

Interest = $1,920

b) Interest = $8000(3)(12)/100

Interest = $2880

c) Interest = $8000(4.5)(12)/100

Interest = $4320

d) Interest = $8000(7)(12)/100

Interest = $6720

Identify the initial amount and the growth rate of the following:
Y = 9.8 (1.35)^t

Answers

Assuming t is a time unit.
The initial amount is when t = 0, so it is 9.8 * 1 = 9.8. The growth rate is how much the amount goes up by for every increase of 1 in t. This is 1.35 because that is the part being affected by t. we plug in 0 for t to get 9.8 as the initial amount. The growth rate is just 135% factor, or 35% more each time, because 1.35 is the base of the exponent.

Find the gradients of lines A and B

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]the \: gradient \: of \: line \: a \: is[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{4}{1 } \\ m = 4[/tex]

[tex]the \: gradient \: of \: line \: b \: is[/tex]

[tex]m = \frac{ - 2}{1} \\ m = - 2[/tex]

Gradients of line A is equals to [tex]4[/tex] and gradients of line B is equals to [tex]-2[/tex].

What is gradients?

" Gradients is defined as the ratio of difference of y-coordinates  to the difference of x-coordinates."

Formula used

Gradients [tex]= \frac{y_{2}- y_{1}}{x_{2}- x_{1}}[/tex]

According to the question,

Given from the graph,

Coordinates of Line A

[tex](x_{1} ,y_{1} ) = ( 3,3)\\\\(x_{2} ,y_{2} ) = ( 4,7)[/tex]

Substitute the value in the formula we get,

Gradient of line A [tex]= \frac{7-3}{4-3}[/tex]

                              [tex]= 4[/tex]

Coordinates of Line B

[tex](x_{1} ,y_{1} ) = ( -1,3)\\\\(x_{2} ,y_{2} ) = ( -2,5)[/tex]

Gradient of line B [tex]= \frac{5-3}{-2-(-1)}[/tex]

Amir’s average math score for the first 4 tests of the school year is 88 Which equation can be used to calculate what Amir’s average must be on the next two tests so that his overall average is 90

Answers

Answer:

Equation that can be used = [tex]\frac{4(88)+2x}{6} = 90[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Amir's average on four tests = 88

Let,

x be the score on one test

For two tests = 2x

Sum of all scores = Average of four tests + Score of two tests

Sum of all scores = 4(88) + 2x

Total number of tests = 6

Overall average needed = 90

Now,

[tex]Average = \frac{Sum\ of\ quantities}{Number\ of\ quantities}\\90 = \frac{4(88)+2x}{6}\\\\\frac{4(88)+2x}{6} = 90[/tex]

Hence,

Equation that can be used = [tex]\frac{4(88)+2x}{6} = 90[/tex]
