A store allows customers to fill their own bags of candy. Terri decides she only wants jelly beans and chocolate drops. Jelly beans sell for $0.98 per pound, and chocolate drops sell for $0.67 per pound. Terri’s bag weighs 2.1 pounds and it costs $1.56. If p = pounds of jelly beans, which equation in simplest form represents the situation described. 0.31p + 1.41 = 1.56 0.31p + 1.41 = 2.1 –0.31p + 2.06 = 1.56 –0.31p + 2.06 = 2.1

Question

A store allows customers to fill their own bags of candy. Terri decides she only wants jelly beans and chocolate drops. Jelly beans sell for $0.98 per pound, and chocolate drops sell for $0.67 per pound. Terri’s bag weighs 2.1 pounds and it costs $1.56.  If p = pounds of jelly beans, which equation in simplest form represents the situation described.          0.31p + 1.41 = 1.56        0.31p + 1.41 = 2.1        –0.31p + 2.06 = 1.56        –0.31p + 2.06 = 2.1

studygurl14 · Answer

0.98p + 0.67c = 1.56
p + c = 2.1
c = 2.1 - p

0.98p + 0.67(2.1 - p) = 1.56
0.98p + 1.407 - 0.67p = 1.56
(round 1.407 to 1.41)
0.31p + 1.41 = 1.56
