Question: Michelle is making goodie bags for Christmas filled with chocolate and candy. Chocolates cost $2.50 per lb and candy cost $3.00 per lb. Michelle spent a total of $40 on 20 lbs of candy. How much of each kind of candy did she purchase ?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Michelle purchased 5 lbs of chocolates and 5  lbs of candy.

Let assume Michelle purchased x lbs of chocolates and y lbs of candy.

According to the given information,

Michelle spent a total of $40 on 20 lbs of candy.

So, the equation can be set up as:

Equation 1: 2.50x + 3.00y = 40

As, the totalweight of candy is 20 lbs, so we have:

Equation 2: x + y = 15

From equation 2: x = 15 - y

Substitute the value of x= 15 - y into Equation 2 as

2.5(15-y) + 3y = 40

37.5 - 2.5y + 3y= 40

0.5y =  2.5

y= 5

Substituting y= 5 into the second equation

x + 5  = 10

x = 10 -5

x = 5

Thus, 5 lbs of chocolates and 5  lbs of candy were bought.

HELP..Maya spent 40% of her savings to pay for a bike that cost her $85 how much money was in her savings to begin with?

Answers

If 40% or .4 of her savings is $85 then we can write the equation .4s=$85 (s being the original amount in savings)
Divide both sides by .4 to get s= $212.50 as the original amount that she had
$85 is 40% of her savings.

So, 

40% of x is egual to $85
40/100x = 85
0,4x = 85
x = 85 / 0,4
x = 212,5

ANSWER = \$ 212,50
