Monica is shopping for candy for her wedding and needs lollipops and gummy bears for a display she is making for the reception. lollipops are $1 per pound and gummy bears are $0.75 per pound. she knows she wants to spend exactly $15 on candy. if she spent $9 on lollipops, which of the following is the number of pounds of gummy bears she purchased?   6  8  9  12

We have been given that she wants to spend exactly $15 on candy.

Also, she spent $9 on lollipops. It means she spent  on gummy bears.

Also, we have been given that the cost of gummy bears are $0.75 per pound.

Thus, in 1$ she can purchase pounds of gummy bears.

Hence, in $6, she can purchase

Therefore, she purchased 8 pounds of gummy bears.

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.
