a distributor wants to make 1000 pounds of trail mix that is 8% raisins. He will use a mix that is 5% raisins and a mix that is 20% raisins. How many pounds of each should he use?

Answer:

200 pounds 20% raisins

800 pounds 5% raisins

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of 5% be x

and number of 20% be y

x + y = 1000

Also;

5% of x + 20-% of y = 8% of 1000 pounds

= 0.05x + 0.2y = 80

From i , x = 1000-y

0.05(1000-y) + 0.2y = 80

50-0.05y + 0.2y = 80

0.15y = 30

y = 200

x = 1000 - y

= 1000-200 = 800

He will use 800 pounds for a mix that is 5% raisins and 200 pounds for a mix that is 20% raisins.

Given that,

A distributor wants to make 1000 pounds of trail mix that is 8% raisins.

He will use a mix that is 5% raisins and a mix that is 20% raisins.

We have to determine,

How many pounds of each should he use.

According to the question,

Let number of 5% raisins be x,

And number of 20% raisins be y.

Then,

He will use a mix that is 5% raisins + A mix that is 20% raisins = Distributor trail mix.

[tex]x + y = 1000[/tex]

And,

He will use a mix that is 5% raisins of x + and a mix that is 20% raisins of y =  1000 pounds of trail mix that is 8% raisins.

5% of x + 20% of y = 1000 of 8% raisins

[tex]0.05 x+ 0.20y = 80[/tex]

On solving both the equation,

[tex]x + y =1000\\\\x = 1000-y[/tex]

Substitute the value of x in the equation 2,

[tex]0.05 (1000-y) + 0.20y = 80\\\\0.05 \times 1000 - 0.05y + 0.20y = 80\\\\50 + 0.15y = 80\\\\0.15y = 80-50 \\\\0.15y = 30\\\\y = \dfrac{30}{0.15}\\\\y = 200[/tex]

Substitute the value of y in the equation 1,

[tex]x + y = 1000\\\\x + 200 = 1000\\\\x = 1000-200\\\\x = 800[/tex]

He will use x = 800 pounds a mix that is 5% raisins and y = 200 pounds for a mix that is 20% raisins.

Hence, He will use 800 pounds for a mix that is 5% raisins and 200 pounds for a mix that is 20% raisins.

The actual product is reasonable because it is near 80 but greater than 80. Both factors were rounded down, making the estimate lower than the actual product.
The actual product is unreasonable. It should be near 80 but less than 80 because both factors were rounded down.
