3/5 = 3/y
40 = 3y
Divide both by 3
Answer= 13.3
Let x and y be the number of pounds of apples and peaches, respectively. With this representation, two equations are generated.
(1) x + y = 165
(2) 1.75x + 2.50y = 337.50
Simultaneously solving for the values of x and y gives an answer of x = 100 and y = 65. Thus, Mo sold 65 pounds of peaches.
I think you multiply 140 and 80% and then add thst to the 140
