The question is incomplete, complete question is;
Chocos is a dish made from wheat, suguar, and cocoa. Bertha is making a large pot of chocos for a party. Wheat (w) costs $5 per pound, sugar (s) costs $3 per pound, and cocoa (c) costs $4 per pound. She spends $48 on 12 pounds of food. She buys twice as much cocoa as sugar. How much wheat, sugar, and cocoa will she use (in pounds) in her dish?
Answer:
She uses 3 pounds of wheat, 3 pounds of sugar and 6 pounds of cocoa in her dish.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Total amount of spent money = $ 48
Total quantity of ingredients = 12 pounds
Let the quantity of wheat, sugar and cocoa she buys be x, y z pounds respectively.
And according to question, quantity of cocoa is 2 times of sugar.
Now substituting the value of z in equation 1and 2, we get;
Now multiply equation 3 by 5 and then subtract equation 4 from it.
And substituting the value of y in equation 3, we get;
Thus the amount she uses is 3 pounds of wheat, 3 pounds of sugar and 6 pounds of cocoa in her dish.

The marks that have to be scored in 6th test to make the average 85 is 105 .
Average of a data set is the ratio of sum of all the data to the number of data in the set.
It is given that the average score = 81
Total tests up till now = 5
Total tests overall = 6
New Average = 85
Let the sum of the score for 5 tests is x
Then by the formula of average
x / 5 = 81
x = 405
Now let the marks scored in the 6th test is y
then ( 405 +y) / 6 = 85
405 + y = 510
y = 105
Therefore , the marks that have to be scored in 6th test to make the average 85 is 105 .

false... even if you got 100 on the next test, you would only have an 84 average
