Mia hired a moving company. the company charged \$500$500 for its services, and mia gives the movers a 16\%16% tip. how much does mia tip the movers?

$80

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the moving company charged $500 for its services, and Mia gives the movers a 16% tip. We are asked to find the amount of tip.

The amount of tip Mia gave to the movers would be 16% of 500.

Therefore, Mia gave an amount of $80 as tip to the movers.

think the answer would beb

delaney would like to make a 5lb nut mixture that is 60% peanuts and 40% almonds.

she has several pounds of peanuts and several pounds of a mixture that is 20% peanuts and 80% almonds.

let 'p' represent the number of pounds of peanuts needed to make the new mixture, and  

let 'm' represent the number of pounds of the 80% almond-20% peanut mixture.

:

p + m = 5

therefore

m = (5-p)

write an equation based on the percent of peanuts

1p + .2m = .6(5)

replace m with (5-p)

p + .2(5-p) = .6(5)

p + 1 - .2p = 3

p - .2p = 3 - 1

.8p = 2

p = 2/.8

p = 2.5 lbs of peanuts required

then

5 - 2.5 = 2.5 lbs of the peanut/almond mixture required

:

a) what is the system that models this situation?

p + m = 5

1p + .2m = .6(5)
