Jordan has gone into the nut business. He wants to make a mixture of walnuts and cashews that cost $1.00 per pound. How many pounds of walnuts that cost $0.80 per pound must be mixed with 8 pounds of cashews that costs $1.25 per pound to make his mixture of nuts cost $1.00 per pound?

Answers are
a.) 16 lbs.
b.) 11 lbs.
c.) 20 lbs.
d.) 10 lbs.

please explain your process in solving/your set up of the equation.

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

d

step-by-step explanation:

given

y + 3 = - 4(x - 2) ← distribute the parenthesis

y + 3 = - 4x + 8 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

y = - 4x + 5 → d

jbankston is right, use thhe link and you should find the answer.
