Sally has two bags of nuts; one with 75 % peanuts, and the other with 16 % peanuts. To make a 8 lb bag of 31 %
peanuts, how much of each should Sally use?

Please answer ASAP
Ty! :)

Step-by-step explanation:

(.16x+.75(8-x))/8=.31

.16x+6-.75x=2.48

-.59x+6=2.48

-.59x=-3.52

x=5.9661, y=8-x=2.0339

I don’t know how much rounding you want but 6lb of the 16% and 2lb of the 75% is pretty close.

144.50

step-by-step explanation:

21.5 x 13.4=288.10 divide by 2

required rate of return = 0.166 = 16.6%

step-by-step explanation:

under the capital asset pricing model (capm), the required or expected rate of return for a particular security or asset is given using the formula:

required rate of return = risk-free rate + beta*(market risk premium)

we are given that;

risk-free rate = 4% = 0.04

beta = 1.4

market risk premium = 9% = 0.09

we simply plug these values into the above formula;

required rate of return = 0.04 + 1.4*(0.09)

required rate of return = 0.04 + 0.126

required rate of return = 0.166 = 16.6%
