In a mixture of raisins and peanuts, 30% of the mixture is raisins and there 56 peanuts; how many raisins are in the mixture?

24 raisins

Step-by-step explanation:

30% of the mixture are raisins which means that 70% are peanuts.

That 70% translates to 56 peanuts.

The total of the mixture is therefore:

= 56 / 70%

= 80 mixture of raisins and peanuts

Raisins are 30%:

= 30% * 80

= 24 raisins

y = 2x

step-by-step explanation:

if you divide each number in the sequence, you'll see that they all have a multiple factor of 2. each number in the series, and any other numbers which may continue, will be multiplied by 2. therefore, y is the next number in the sequence, and x is the current one, so, our formula will be y = 2x.
