Question

How many pounds of hamburger worth $1.05 per pound must be mixed with 60 pounds of hamburger worth $0.90 per pound to produce hamburger worth $1.00 per pound?

Which of the following systems represents the word problem if x = pounds of hamburger worth $1.05 per pound?



A> x + y = 60 and 1.05x + 0.90(60) = 1.00y
B. x + 60 = y and 1.05x + 1.00y = 0.90(60)
C. x + 60 = y and 1.05x + 0.90(60) = 1.00y

Answer 1

so, from the fig,

i guess,

x + 60 = y , and
1.05x + 0.90 (60) = 1.00y...

Not very sure..
