A store is having a sale on almonds and jelly beans. For 3 pounds of almonds and 8 pounds of jelly beans, the total cost is $34. For 5 pounds of almonds and 2 pounds of jelly beans, the total cost is $17. Find the cost for each pound of almonds and each pound of jelly beans.

Almonds: $2

Jelly Beans: $3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of a pound of almonds be A and the cost of a pound of jelly beans be J.

3A + 8J = 34 (Equation 1)

5A + 2J = 17 (Equation 2)

Use simultaneous equations.

Times equation 2 by 4

4(5A + 2J = 17) = 20A + 8J = 68

(20A + 8J) - (3A + 8J) = 68 - 34

17A = 34

A = 2

3A = 6

34 - 6 = 28

28/8 = 3.5

Checking:

3(2) + 8(3.5)

= 6 + 28

= 34

5(2) + 2(3.5)

= 10 + 7

= 17

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.

d 600 because 15*10*2=300

300+300=600
