Abag of trail mix weighs 2 lb. by weight, 18% is oats. write a percent proportion that can be used to find the weight of the oats in the trail mix. what is the weight of the oats in the trail mix

since, the total weight of the bag of trail mix = 2 lb

⇒  

⇒

⇒

⇒

thus, if 18% of the total trail mix is oats,

then the percentage proportion of the oats in the trail mix =

which is the required proportion.

now, the weight of the oats in the trail mix =

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!
