Jeremy is making a trail mix containing raisins and peanuts. raisins cost $1.50 per pound. peanuts cost $2.50 per pound. jeremy spends $10.50 to make 5 pounds of trail mix. he uses the table below to organize this information. which equation can jeremy use to determine the amount of raisins in the trail mix?

a. r + 1.50 = 1.5r
b. r + (5 – r) = 5
c. 1.5r + 2.5(5 – r) = 10.50
d. 1.5r + 2.5(5 – r) = 5

The answer is c. 1.5r + 2.5(5 – r) = 10.50. Let r be the number of raisins and p be the number of peanuts. Raisins cost $1.50 per pound: 1.5r. Peanuts cost $2.50 per pound: 2.5p. Jeremy spends $10.50: 1.50r + 2.50p = 10.50. Jeremy makes 5 pounds of trail mix: r + p = 5. So, we have the system of two equations: 1.5r + 2.5p = 10.50 and r + p = 5. Use the second equation to express p: p = 5 - r. Now, substitute p in the first equation: 1.5r + 2.5(5 - r) = 10.50. Therefore, the correct choice is c. 1.5r + 2.5(5 – r) = 10.50.

Answer for 2: his profit would be $2.88 explanation: you have to first multiply 72 and 0.12 together to get $8.64 once you do that you know how much money the shopkeeper made from selling the candy bars individually. so you have to do 8.64-5.76=2.88 hope that ; )answer for 3: yeah i’m sorry i have no idea what number 3 is. i’m sorry i couldn’t with that.
