6. Charlie can spend up to $8 on lunch. He wants to buy a tuna sandwich, a bottle of

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

The maximum number of pounds of potato salad that Charlie can buy is 0.375

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

Let

a ----> the cost of one tuna sandwich

b ----> the cost of a bottle of apple juice

c ----> the cost per pound of potato salad

x ----> pounds of potato salad

we have

$a=\$4.25$

$b=\$2.25$

$c=\$4.00/lb$

we know that

He wants to buy a tuna sandwich, a bottle of apple juice, and x pounds of potato salad and can spend up to $8

The inequality that represent this situation is

$a+b+cx \leq 8$

substitute the given values

$4.25+2.25+4.00x \leq 8$

Solve for x

Combine like terms

$6.50+4.00x \leq 8$

Subtract 6.50 both sides

$4.00x \leq 8-6.50$

$4.00x \leq 1.50$

Divide by 4 both sides

$x \leq 1.50/4.00$

$x \leq 0.375\ lbs$

therefore

The maximum number of pounds of potato salad that Charlie can buy is 0.375

22.Lenin is preparing dinner plates. He has 12 pieces of chicken and 16 rolls. If he wants to make all the plates identicalwitho

Nitella [24]

Answer: The greatest number of plates Lenin can prepare = 4

and there will be 3 chickens and 4 rolls in each plate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Lenin is preparing dinner plates. He has 12 pieces of chicken and 16 rolls.

To make all the plates identical without any food left over, the greatest number of plates Lenin can prepare = G.C.D.(12,16)=4

The number of pieces of chicken in each plate = $\dfrac{12}{4}=3$

The number of pieces of rolls in each plate = $\dfrac{16}{4}=4$

So, the greatest number of plates Lenin can prepare = 4

and there will be 3 chickens and 4 rolls in each plate.

Carl has new bottle of laundry detergent he uses 0.4 cups of laundry detergent while washing one load of laundry and 0.7 coupon

oee [108]

Answer:

-1.1 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much was spent on the main bottle of detergent, we must add the expenses that were incurred in the wash.

The statement tells us that first there is an expense of 0.4 cups of laundry detergent while washing one load of laundry and 0.7 coupon another load, therefore this means that the change in the bottle would be:

(-0.4) + (-0.7) = -0.4 - 0.7 = -1.1 cups.

In other words, the main bottle would have 1.1 cups less, that is, -1.1 cups.
