Quantity (in lbs.) value (per lb.) total butterscotch x 2.15 2.15x peppermint y 2.35 2.35y mixture 10 2.20 22 using the table, match the items in the following lists. 1. pounds of butterscotch candy $2.20 2. pounds of peppermint candy y 3. price per pound of peppermints $22.00 4. price per pound of butterscotch $2.15 5. price per pound of mixture x 6. cost for ten pounds of mixture $2.35

It's a reading comprehension problem. All the answers are given in the table.

Solution to the equations

If you actually want to find the values of x and y, you can write equations for the quantity of candy and the cost of the mix:

You can subtract 2.15 times the first equation from the second to get

  (2.15x +2.35y) -2.15(x +y) = (22.00) -2.15(10)

  020y = 0.50 . . . . . simplify

  y = 0.50/0.20 = 2.5 . . . pounds of peppermint

  x = 10 - 2.5 = 7.5 . . . . from the first equation, pounds of butterscotch

answer: c

because if you look at the chart you can see a pattern and compare it to the question he simplify out your

but i think the formula is f(x)=6x

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
