Acandy shop sells a box of chocolates for $30. it has $29 worth of chocolates plus $1 for the box. the box includes two kinds of candy; caramels and truffles. lita knows how much the different types of candies cost per pound and how many pounds are in the box. she said if x is the number of caramels included in the box and y is the number of pounds of truffles in the box then i can write the following equations based on what i know about one of these boxes:
x+y=3
8x+12y+1=30

how many pounds of candy are in the box?

what is the price per pound of the caramels?

what does the term 12y in the second equation represent?

what does 8x+12y+1 in the second equation represent?

solve the equations by ising any of the elimination or substiturion meyhod and you can get the values of x and y then you can easily answer other questions

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3

76%

step-by-step explanation:

24% are dogs and the remaining is 76% because 100-24=76
