Dana bought almonds at $8 per can and cashews at $12 per can. In total she bought 470 cans of nuts. Her total bill was $4260. How many cans of each type of nut did she buy? Use either substitution or elimination to solve this problem.

almonds =345, cashews=125

Step-by-step explanation:

a=almonds, c=cashews

8a+12c=4260. Equation 1

a + c= 470  Equation 2

a=470-c. Isolate a from equation 2

8(470-c)+12c=4260 sub value of a from equation 2 into equation 1

3760-8c+12c=4260

4c=500

c=125

solve for a by substituting value of c into either equation

a+c=470

a+125=470

a=345

0.16 or 16%

step-by-step explanation:

lets take a coin for example.

if you toss it twice, it has a 1/4 chance of landing on heads both times because 1/2 * 1/2 is 1/4.

with the cards, the chance of picking dog is 0.4. having two people pick one is like picking a card twice in a row. so 0.4 * 0.4 is 0.16, or 16%

50- 250 is correct i did that one too
