A grocer wants to mix two kinds of candy. One kind sells for $1.80 per pound, and the other sells for $3.00 per pound. He wants to mix a total of 15 pounds and sell it for $1.95 per pound. How many pounds of each kind should he use in the new mix? (Round off the answers to the nearest hundredth.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 13.12 pounds of the candy that sells for $1.80 per pound 1.88 pounds of the candy that sells for $3 per pound should be in the mixture.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of the candy that sells for $1.80 per pound that should be in the mixture.

Let y represent the number of pounds of the candy that sells for $3.00 per pound that should be in the mixture.

The total pounds of both candies in the mixture is 15. It means that

x + y = 15

Since he wants to sell the mixture for $1.95 per pound, the cost of the mixture per pound would be 1.95(x + y)

The equation would be

1.8x + 3y = 1.95(x + y)- - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 15 - y into equation 1, it becomes

1.8(15 - y) + 3y = 1.95(15 - y + y)

27 - 1.8y + 3y = 29.25

- 1.8y + 3y = 29.25 + 27

1.2y = 2.25

y = 2.25/1.2

y = 1.88

x = 15 - y = 15 - 1.88

x = 15 - 1.88 = 13.12

Answer 2

Answer:

the grocer should mix approximately 13.12  pounds of 1st candy.

the grocer should mix approximately 1.88 pounds of 2nd candy.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information.

let x represent the pounds of the first candy and y represent the pound of the second candy

We are being told that the grocer wants to sell a total of 15 pounds,

so;

[tex]x+y = 15 \\ \\x= 15-y[/tex]     -----  (1)

also; we are being informed that one kind sells for $1.80  per pound, and the other sells for $3.00 per pound. and he wants to mix a total of 15 pounds and sell it for $1.95 per pound.

So;

[tex]1.80 x + 3y = 15(1.95)[/tex]

[tex]1.80x + 3y = 29.25[/tex]      ------(2)

Replacing equation (1) into 2 ; we have :

1.8(15 - y) + 3y = 29.25

27 - 1.8y + 3y = 29.25

- 1.8y + 3y = 29.25 - 27

1.2y = 2.25

y = 2.25/1.2

y = 1.88

Therefore, the grocer should mix approximately 1.88 pounds of 2nd candy.

Replacing the value of y into equation (1)

x = 15 - y

x= 15 - 1.88

x  = 13.12

Therefore, the grocer should mix approximately 13.12  pounds of 1st candy.

What is the equation of line?

The equation of line is given as

y = mx + c

Where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

The slope of the equation is 3. Then the equation of the line is given as,

y = 3x + c

The equation of the line is passing through the point (-3,-5), then the equation of line will be

  y = 3x + c

–5 = 3(–3) + c

–5 = –9 + c

  c = 9 – 5

  c = 4

Then the equation of the line will be

y = 3x + 4

Thus, the equation of the line that has a slope of 3 and goes through the point (-3,-5) will be y = 3x + 4.

Then the correct option is A.

x^2 + 4x =7

Take the coefficient of x and divide by 2

4/2

Square it

2^2 =4

Add to each side

x^2+4x+4 = 7+4

(x+2)^2 = 11

Take the square root of each side

x+2 = ±sqrt(11)

Subtract 2 from each side

x = -2 ±sqrt(11)

x=1.31662
