Answer 3

Pastaroni is a local Italian restaurant that serves a specialized pasta salad. Included in this salad is macaroni, linguine and bow-tie pasta. The salad contains six times as much linguine as it does macaroni. Both macaroni and linguine sell for $4; bow-tie pasta sells for $8. If the restaurant makes 140 pounds of pasta every day, how many pounds of each type of pasta are needed if the salad sells for $6?

Answer 4

Pssssst you are pretty good at expressing your problems in a manner that confuses, frustrates, and otherwise discourages any help by others. Above is a good example.

Answer 5

Let x = number of pounds of macroni
then 6x = number of pounds of linguine
then 140-6x-x = number of pounds of bow-tie pasta or 140-7x.

Now do the cost.
$4x = cost of macaroni
$24x = cost lingjine
and $8(140-7x) = cost of bow tie. total cost is 140 times $6 or $840.00
thus the formula will be:
$4x+$24x +$8(140+7)=$840 now solve for x
$28x+$1120-$56x=$840
-28x=-280
x=10 or ten pounds of macaroni
6x=60 or 60 pounds of linguine
Then that means 70 pounds of bow tie pasta.

Following assumption made (and a very unrealistic one) he was selling the salad at cost!!
