Hey there!

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two different kind of ways in order to complete this real world scenario, but, we'll start with the most easiest and basic.

Both equal 176, as the problem stated out. Then we simply plug it in with the information that was brought out.

Therefore, we know see how we got our answer as 520 bags for each kind of mulch. I hope this helps you!

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
