A shop that sells nuts has one mixture that is 30% pecans and 70% peanuts. A second mixture is 40% pecans and 60% peanuts. The manager wants to make a mixture that is 38% pecans. She wants to use 25 ounces more of the second mixture than of the first. How many ounces of each mixture should she use

=> x = 8.33 oz weight of the first mixture therefore weight of the second mixture would be:

x+25= 8.33+25=33.33 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the weight of each mixture which are unknown to us right now, therefore:

Let the weight of the first mixture be x. Then the weight of the second mixture would be (x+25) and the weight of final mixture would be (x + x + 25) = 2x+25.

The first mixture had 30% pecans, therefore the weight of pecans from the first mixture would be 0.3x.

The second mixture had 40% pecans, therefore the weight of pecans from the second mixture would be 0.4 * (x+25).

We will have 38% pecans in the final mixture hence the weight of pecans is 0.38 of the total weight of pecans in the final mixture.

0.38 * (2x + 25)

Therefore

0.38 * (2x + 25) = 0.3x + 0.4*(x + 25).

Now we have one equation one unknown and solve for x:

=> 0.76x + 9.5 = 0.7x + 10

=> 0.76x - 0.7x = 10 - 9.5

=> 0.06x = 0.5

=> x = 50/0.06

=> x = 50/6 = 25/3

=> x = 8.33 oz weight of the first mixture therefore weight of the second mixture would be:

x+25= 8.33+25=33.33 oz

answer

explanation

the area of a circle is calculated using the formula

or

we can use any of the above formulae to calculate the required. preferably, let us use the latter since the diameter is

we substitute the diameter into the formula to get:

this is the exact value for the area of the circle.

the correct answer is a
