Alex is making a candy that contains 75% white chocolate and the rest peppermint sticks. The candy has 3 pounds of peppermint sticks.
Part A: Write an equation using one variable that can be used to find the total number of pounds of white
chocolate and peppermint sticks in the candy. Define the variable used in the equation. (5 points)
Part B: How many pounds of white chocolate are present in the candy? Show your work. (5 points)

The base of a triangle exceeds the height by 9 inches. if the area is 180 square inches, find the length of the base and the height of the triangle.

Which graph represents the given linear function 4x+2y=3

Acaterer knows he will need 60, 50, 80, 40 and 50 dinner napkins on five successive evenings. he can purchase new napkins initially at 25 cents each, after which he can have dirty napkins laundered by a fast one-day laundry service (i.e., dirty napkins given at the end of the day will be ready for use the following day) at 15 cents each, or by a slow two-day service at 8 cents each or both. the caterer wants to know how many napkins he should purchase initially and how many dirty napkins should be laundered by fast and slow service on each of the days in order to minimize his total costs. formulate the caterer’s problem as a linear program as follows (you must state any assumptions you make): a. define all variables clearly. how many are there? b. write out the constraints that must be satisfied, briefly explaining each. (do not simplify.) write out the objective function to be minimized. (do not simplify.)
