A manager bought 12 pounds of peanuts for $30. He wants to mix $5 per pound cashews with the peanuts to get a batch of mixed nuts that is worth $4 per pound. How many pounds of cashews are needed

18 pounds of cashews are needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

A manager bought 12 pounds of peanuts for $30.

Price of peanut per pound P = $30/12 = $2.5

Price of cashew per pound C = $5

Price of mixed nut per pound M = $4

Let x represent the proportion of peanut in the mixed nut.

The proportion of cashew will then be y = (1-x), so;

xP + (1-x)C = M

Substituting the values;

x(2.5) + (1-x)5 = 4

2.5x + 5 -5x = 4

2.5x - 5x = 4 -5

-2.5x = -1

x = 1/2.5 = 0.4

Proportion of cashew is;

y = 1-x = 1-0.4 = 0.6

For 12 pounds of peanut the corresponding pounds of cashew needed is;

A = 12/x × y

A = 12/0.4 × 0.6 = 18 pounds

18 pounds of cashews are needed.

what level of math? also i don't need to be paid if i can you.

c

step-by-step explanation:

there is vertical asymptote at x = 2 and x = 0

vertical asymptote occurs at the points where the denominator is 0. so we can say that

x = 2 occurs when there is a factor (x-2) in the denominator, and

x = 0 occurs when there is a factor "x" in the denominator

thus, the denominator of the equation would have "x * (x-2)", this is option c only. that's the correct answer.
