Question

Lipa want to buy a 5-pound mixture of chocolate. If one kind sells $3.60 per pound and another $4.60 per pound, how much of each kind can she buy for $19 ?

Answer 1

5.27

4.13

Answer 2

Um, if you buy 5 pounds of the cheaper stuff it will be less than $19, but the other brand she can't buy 5 pounds.

Answer 3

a + b =5

a(3.6) + b(4.6) =19

b = 5-a

3.6a + (5-a)4.6 = 3.6a +23 -4.6a =19

23 - a =19 so a =4

so 4 pounds of the cheap candy, 1 pound of the expensive candy

check it, 4 times 3.60 plus 1 times 4.60 equals 19

Answer 4

She can buy 4 lb. of the 3.60 chocolate and 1 lb. of the 4.60 chocolate.

Answer 5

1pound of $4.60 n 4 pounds of $3.60...it totals up to $19..
