Answer:
35 pounds of $8.00 tea and 15 pounds of $6.00 tea
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the pounds of tea of the $8 kind. 8x would represent the total cost of that type of tea. We can also say 50 - x is the pounds of tea of the $6 kind, so 6(50 - x) is the total cost of that type of tea. 50 * 7.4 represents the total cost of all the tea, and the expression 8x + 6(50 -x) would also represent the same thing. We can write this as an equation,
8x + 6(50 -x) = 50 * 7.4
simplify,
8x + 300 - 6x = 370
2x + 300 = 370
and solve.
2x = 70
x = 35
This means there is 35 pounds of the $8 kind.
We can subtract that from 50 to find,
50 - 35 = 15,
15 pounds is the amount of the $6 kind.
Converting feet to inches, 8*12=96 and 96*4=384. Next, 40*12=480. Since 384*x (if x represents the cost per inch of crown molding)=16*100=1600 cents due to that for every inch, we add x amount of money, we can find x to be 1600/384=800/192=400/96=200/48=100/24=50/12=25/6 by simply dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2 each time. Since we add x amount of money for every inch, and we have 480 inches, 480*x=480*25/6=2000 cents=2000/100=20 dollars is our answer
Answer: 30 baskets.
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
You need to find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF).
240 (apples) = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5
150 (pears) = 2 x 3 x 5 x 5
GCF (240, 150) = 2 x 3 x 5
= 30
You can make 30 baskets containing 240/30 = 8 apples and 150/30 = 5 pears.
