Answer:
The number of pounds of cashew is 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Let P represent the peanut
Let C represent the cashew nut.
From question, we were told that Elijah brought a total of 16 pounds of peanuts and cashew nuts. This can be written as:
P + C = 16 (1)
The total cost = $49.50
Cost per peanut = $2.75
Cost per cashew = $3.25
The above can be represented as:
49.50 = 2.75P + 3.25C. (2)
From equation 1,
P + C = 16
P = 16 — C
Substitute the value of P into equation 2:
49.50 = 2.75P + 3.25C.
49.50 = 2.75(16 — C) + 3.25C
49.50 = 44 — 2.75C + 3.25C
49.50 = 44 + 0.5C
Collect like terms
49.50 — 44 = 0.5C
5.5 = 0.5C
Divide both side by 0.5
C = 5.5/0.5
C = 11
Therefore, the number of pounds of cashew is 11

Hello! So, the toy company makes blocks that cost $5 to make. Then, they mark it up by 300%, which is marking the price up by 4. 100% markup is doubling the price, 200% is tripling the price, and 300% marks the price up by 4. Then, the blocks would cost $20. After that, the price would be marked up by 150%, so that’s 2.5 times the price of the original. When you do $20 by 2.5, then the blocks cost $50. The local toy store will mark the block up by 200%, which as said before, is tripling the price. Then, you do 50 * 3, and then the price of the blocks is $150. Then, it gets marked off by 30% and 10% of 150 is 15, so 30% off 150 is 45. When you do 150 - 45, the difference is $105. Then, you take off an additional 15%, But you would still have to pay 85% of the original price. You would do 105 * 0.85, and then you would get $89.25 for the blocks. But that’s not all. You have to pay 8% sales tax for the blocks. You can find the tax by doing 89.25 * 0.08 and then adding the prices together. Or, you can do 89.25 * 1.08 to find the total price. Either way, the product should be 96.39. The total price you paid for the blocks is $96.39.
4/5 divided by 1/10 = 4/5 x 10/1 = 40/5 = 8
