Nuts.com sells raw almonds for $8 per pound and roasted pistachios for $9 per pound. Christopher spends $162, before taxes and shipping, to purchase 19 total pounds of nuts. How many pounds of pistachios did Christopher purchase?

Answer:

The pounds of roasted pistachios nuts Christopher purchases is 10 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The price of raw almonds at Nuts.com = $8 per pound

The price of roasted pistachios at Nuts.com = $9 per pound

The amount Christopher spends on Nuts = $162

The quantity of nuts Christopher purchase = 19 pounds

Let the pounds of raw almonds nuts Christopher purchases = X and the pounds of roasted pistachios nuts Christopher purchases = Y

∴ $8·X + $9·Y = $162...(1)

X + Y = 19...(2)

Making X the subject of the formula in equation (2), we have;

X = 19 - Y

Substituting the value X in equation (1) gives;

$8·(19 - Y) + $9·Y = $162

$152 - $8·Y + $9·Y = $162

$1·Y = $162 - $152 = $10

Y = $10/($1) = 10

Y = 10 pounds

The pounds of roasted pistachios nuts Christopher purchased = Y = 10

The pounds of roasted pistachios nuts Christopher purchases = 10 pounds

X = 19 - Y = 19 - 10 = 9

X = 9 pounds

The pounds of raw almonds nuts Christopher purchases = X = 9

The pounds of raw almonds nuts Christopher purchases = 9 pounds

5 + x - 14 = -15. Solve for X

At the end of week one, a stock had increased in value from $5.75 a share to $7.50 a share.Find the percent of increase at the end of week one to the nearest tenth of a percent.At the end of week two, the same stock had decreased in value from $7.50 to $5.75.Is the percent of decrease at the end of week two the same as the percent of increase at the end of week one?Justify your answer.

Taiga’s teacher asked him to draw a polygon with vertices (–4, –5), (–5, 2), (–5, 3), (–4, 5), (2, 3), and (–3, 0) and to identify the polygon. Taiga drew the polygon below and identified it as a heptagon. On a coordinate plane, points are at (negative 4, negative 5), (negative 5, 2), (negative 5, 3), (negative 4, 5), (2, 3), and (negative 3, 0). Which explains whether Taiga is correct? Taiga is correct because the polygon has six sides. Taiga is correct because the sides have different lengths. Taiga is not correct because the polygon is a hexagon. Taiga is not correct because he drew the polygon incorrectly.

this is confusing and my stomach really hurts rn and im not in the mood to do geometry so can someone please help me

For a rotation r ( x ∘ , P ), which of the following is not true?
For a pre-image point P, m∠PAP′=x degrees.

For the a preimage point A, PA=PA′

The expression A=B r ( x ∘ , P ) A = Br ( x ∘ , P ) A = Br ( x ∘ , P ) A = Br ( x ∘ , P ) A = B means that when point A is rotated x° around point P its image is located at point B

The transformation rotates every point in the preimage x° about a point P​

Read the passage. Which statement best describes how Belle changes over the course of the story?

Riding a Bicycle
It was a bright Sunday morning when Belle woke up with the biggest smile on her face. She had been looking forward to this day for a long time. Her father was going to teach her to ride a bicycle. She dressed quickly and gulped down her breakfast.

After breakfast, Belle’s father showed her the different parts of a bike. Then he said he would hold onto the back of the bike while she peddled. But Belle’s excitement got the better of her. She said she wanted to try riding by herself. Her father let go. Belle quickly lost her balance and crashed to the ground. The fall dazed her. She grumpily agreed to let her father keep holding the bike while she rode.

Every once in a while, he would let go. The moment he did, Belle would lose her balance and topple over. Her father explained that this was perfectly normal. He said that all first-time riders fall. Even so, Belle’s mood darkened with each fall. After a while, she wanted to give up and return home.

Belle’s father tried to talk her out of quitting. He pointed toward some other children biking nearby. He showed her how happy they looked as they rode their bicycles. He told her she needed to keep trying. With a little more effort, she would soon enjoy riding just like the other children. His words gave Belle the determination to keep going.

After several more failed tries, Belle finally got the hang of it. She began gently peddling by herself, beaming with pride. She had finally done it! That night, she went to bed with a couple of bruises and cuts. But she had an even bigger smile on her face than she’d had in the morning. She would forever remember this day and the lesson she learned about never quitting.



A.
Belle starts showing more trust in her father as he teaches her how to ride a bike.
B.
Belle becomes less excited as the story goes on, until her excitement for bike riding disappears.
C.
Belle learns both how to ride a bike and how important it is not to give up.
D.
Belle gets hurt from falling off her bike, which scares her away from bike riding for good.
