Answer:
Yes, Yolanda bought enough
Step-by-step explanation:
a. Read and understand the question, including what is given and what is asked for. Here, we have ...
Given: mixed nuts $6.75 per pound, $21.60 spent on mixed nuts; dried fruit $4.25 per pound, $11.90 spent on dried fruit.
Find: is the total weight of purchased mixed nuts and dried fruit at least 6 pounds?
__
b. Select appropriate relations to create a path from what is given to what is asked for. Here, we have ...
weight = cost/(cost per pound)
total weight = weight of mixed nuts + weight of dried fruit
__
c. Use the relations with the given information to come to a conclusion that will answer the question.
weight of mixed nuts = $21.60/($6.75/lb) = 3.2 lb
weight of dried fruit = $11.90/($4.25/lb) = 2.8 lb
total weight = (3.2 lb) +(2.8 lb) = 6.0 lb
Yolanda wanted to buy a total of 6 pounds for the party, and she bought 6 pounds. Yolanda bought enough for the party.
