1.Use the information provided to answer Part A and Part B of the question. Jenifer is making a fruit salad for the family picnic. She follows a recipe that mixes one part pineapple with two parts grapes and three parts cherries. Pineapple costs $2 per pound, grapes cost $3 per pound, and cherries cost $4 per pound. Part A Jenifer has $60 to spend on the fruit salad. Write an algebraic equation which models this situation and solve to find how many pounds of fruit salad she can make.

AngeI:

I will try

ArIa:

yusss

AngeI:

so you dont need to solve this, correct?

ArIa:

you do

ArIa:

but i can do that part

AngeI:

ah ok

AngeI:

So lets say x is the amount of pounds

ArIa:

ok

AngeI:

is there answer choices?

ArIa:

nope

AngeI:

Well I am required to ask you how do you think you get the equation

ArIa:

Ima go out and tell you the truth i can went to my school super late so im looking for online help to help me out so i have NO IDEA

ArIa:

idk where can came from

AngeI:

It seems like the equation may be as simple as 2x+3x+4x=60 but I am not 100% sure since I am doing 5 things at once. @Shadow what do you think?

ArIa:

there are more parts to it and i really dont understand this crap *^*

AngeI:

I am not sure about the equation for the record, what are the other parts?

ThisGirlPretty:

Maybe @dude

ArIa:

Hold on

ArIa:

Part B Jenifer's sister gave her a different recipe which calls for her to mix seven parts pineapple, four parts grapes, and one part cherries. If Jenifer follows her sister's recipe, how many pounds of fruit salad can she make for $60?

AngeI:

Well I need to be sure on the equation before we do that part but I believe shadow is afk so you might have a wait a bit I am sorry

ArIa:

ok
