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.

Find the sum of ( 1- 1/n) + (1 - 2/n) + ( 1 - 3/n)...upto n terms

Answers

Answer:

(n-1) / 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the sum has the form of:

Sn = n / 2 [2 * a + (n-1) * d]

we compute the terms of a and d

a = 1 - 1 / n

a = (n - 1) / n

, that is, the first term, in the case d is the subtraction between the second and the first term, thus:

d = 1 - 2 / n - (1 - 1 / n)

d = 1 - 2 / n - 1 + 1 / n

d = - 1 / n

now if replacing these values:

Sn = n / 2 * [2 * (n - 1) / n + (n-1) * (- 1 / n)

Sn = n / 2 * [2 * (n-1) - (n-1)] / n

Sn = 1/2 * (n-1)

Therefore, the value of that sum is (n-1) / 2

please answer asap! A couple plans to have 5 children. The gender of each child is equally likely. Design a simulation involving 125 trials that you can use to model the genders of the children. Write your answers as numbers.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

The gender of a child which is either a boy or a girl is determined by the XX-chromosomes, or XY-chromosomes.

Since the couple plan to have 5 children, the chance of a child being a boy is equal to the chance of it being a girl - the chances are 50/50.

What we do to achieve our aim is to run a simulation that would add an X or Y to an X for all 5 children.

Doing this 125 times, we obtain the number of trials we desire.

For each trial, we get for each child, C:

C1: X + (X or Y)

C2: X + (X or Y)

C3: X + (X or Y)

C4: X + (X or Y)

C5: X + (X or Y)

Since the chance of having an X is equal to the chance of having a Y, they equal probability, which is 0.5 for each.

Clara goes mini golfing. She pays $7.50 for an admission ticket and $6.25 for each round she golfs. The total amount Clara pays for admission and the number of rounds she golfs is $26.25. Which equation can be used to determine the number of rounds, x, that Clara golfs?

6.25x + 7.50 = 26.25

6.25x - 7.50 = 26.25

7.50x + 6.25 = 26.25

7.50x - 6.25 = 26.25

Answers

Answer:

6.25x + 7.50 = 26.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

The admission fee is = $7.50

Each round costs = $6.25

Total money Clara paid = $26.25

The computation of equation can be used to determine the number of rounds, x, that Clara golfs is shown below:-

we assume the number of rounds = x

Here, We can denote this equation in the following form

[tex]6.25x+7.50=26.25[/tex]

Therefore with the help of above equation we can now find out the x value

[tex]6.25x=26.25-7.50[/tex]

[tex]=> 6.25x=18.75[/tex]

[tex]=> x = 3[/tex]

So, Clara played 3 rounds of golf.
