A store is having a sale on jelly beans and trail mix. For 7 pounds of jelly beans and 9 pounds of trail mix is a total of $42. For 5 pounds of jelly beans and 3 pounds of trail mix is a total of $24. Find the cost for each pound of jelly beans and each pound of trail mix?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

One pound of jelly beans costs $3.75.

One pound of trail mix costs $1.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex]x[/tex] be equal to one pound of jelly beans.

Let [tex]y[/tex] be equal to one pound of trail mix.

1) Form equations

We're given:

7 pounds of jelly beans + 9 pounds of trail mix = $42

⇒ [tex]7x+9y=42[/tex]

5 pounds of jelly beans + 3 pounds of trail mix = $24

⇒ [tex]5x+3y=24[/tex]

Now, we have our two equations:

[tex]\displaystyle\left \{ {{7x+9y=42} \atop {5x+3y=24}} \right.[/tex]

2) Solve for x using elimination

[tex]\displaystyle\left \{ {{7x+9y=42} \atop {5x+3y=24}} \right.[/tex]

Multiply the second equation by 3 to change 3y to 9y:

[tex]5x+3y=24\\3(5x+3y)=3(24)\\15x+9y=72[/tex]

Subtract the first equation from the second to eliminate y:

[tex]15x+9y=72\\- 7x+9y=42\\\rule{2.5cm}{0.4pt}\\8x=30[/tex]

Divide both sides by 8 to isolate x:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\frac{30}{8} \\\\x=3.75[/tex]

Therefore, one pound of jelly beans costs $3.75.

2) Solve for y using substitution

[tex]\displaystyle\left \{ {{7x+9y=42} \atop {5x+3y=24}} \right.[/tex]

Now, we know that x=3.75. Plug this value into one of the equations and solve for y:

[tex]5x+3y=24\\5(3.75)+3y=24\\18.75+3y=24\\3y=24-18.75\\3y=5.25\\\\\displaystyley=\frac{5.25}{3} \\\\y=1.75[/tex]

Therefore, one pound of trail mix costs $1.75.

I hope this helps!

Answers

a) The monthly payment for Sofia, who is considering the 5-year loan of $6,000 at an interest rate of 7%, would be $118.80.

b) The total number of monthly payments that Sofia would make for the 5-year loan of $6,000 at an interest rate of 7% is 60.

c) The total finance charge for Sofia, who is considering the 5-year loan of $6,000 at an interest rate of 7%, would be approximately $1,128.00.

How is monthly payment calculated?

The monthly payment to pay off a mortgage can be calculated using an online finance calculator as below.

Data and Calculations:

Loan amount = $6,000

Maturity period = 5 years

Interest rate = 7%

N (# of periods) = 60 months (5 years x 12)

Results:  

Monthly Payment = $118.81 ($34.02 + $84.79)

Mortgage Payment = $7,128.60 ($118.81 x 60)

Total of 60 Mortgage Payments $7,128.60

Total Interest = $1,128.60 ($7,128.60 - $6,000)

Learn more about calculating monthly payments at https://brainly.com/question/24576997

Answer:

The table shows monthly payments for every $1,000 of principal borrowed. For a 5-year loan at 7%, the payment on a $1,000 loan would be $19.80.

So, for a loan of $6,000, the payment would be $19.80 × 6 = $118.80.

A 5-year loan will have 60 monthly payments since 5 × 12 = 60.

Multiply the monthly payment by 60 months to get the total amount paid on the loan:

$118.80 × 60 = $7,128.

To calculate the total finance charge, subtract the principal amount from the total amount paid on the loan:

$7,128 − $6,000 = $1,128.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

no need to panic !

it is actually totally easy.

we have the complete, big angle at U (imagine you turn VU around U into UT) = 178 degrees.

VT is almost a straight line (then that angle would be 180 degrees). but only almost ...

anyway, the other 2 angles are just parts of the big angle, and we see that together they sum up to the big angle, as there is no other space for a part of the big angle left.

so

(14x - 11) + (12x + 7) = 178

14x - 11 + 12x + 7 = 178

26x - 4 = 178

26x = 182

x = 7

Pls answer this and u will be given the brainliest crown !!!
The first person gets it if the answer is correct​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, your polynomial should be a third degree, not a second degree. That's probably why you didn't get someone to answer this for you already.

If x + 2k is a factor of that polynomial, then by the Zero Product Property

x + 2k = 0 and x = -2k. That means that, by the factor theorem, f(-2k) = 0 (which means that if you plug -2k in for all the x's you get a zero). Therefore,

[tex]3(-2k)^3+6k(-2k)^2-14(-2k)-3=0\\-24k+24k+28k-3=0\\28k-3=0\\28k=3\\k=\frac{3}{28}[/tex]

[tex]-3(t+1)(8t-3)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

First, factor both the denominators completely:

[tex]9-24t\\= 3(3-8t)\\= 3(-8t+3)\\= -3(8t-3)[/tex]

[tex]8t^2+5t-3\\= 8t^2+8t-3t-3\\= 8t(t+1)-3(t+1)\\= (8t-3)(t+1)[/tex]

Now, we can see that the factors of the first denominator are -3 and 8t-3.

The factors of the second denominator are t+1 and 8t-3.

To find the LCD, multiply all of these factors together:

[tex]-3(t+1)(8t-3)[/tex]

Notice how we only multiply 8t-3 in the equation once. This is because it was present in both denominators, unlike the other factors.
