A. One pound of pistachios plus 1 pound of almonds cost $20
B. The pistachios cost twice as much per pound as the almonds
C. Reducing the number of pounds of almonds by one results in a total cost of $40
D. The cost a, in dollars, of 1 pound of almonds is modeled a 2(a-4)+3a=48
E. The cost p, in dollars, of 1 pound of pistachios is modeled as 2p+3(p-4)=48

Answer 1

Answer:

A;C;E

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cost of almond per pound be X

Cost of 3 pounds of almonds=3X

cost of pistachios per pound = X+4

Cost of 2 pounds of pistachios=2X+8

Total cost=5X+8=48

5X+8=48

5X=40

X=8

cost of one pound almond is $8

cost of one pound pistachios is $12

Answer 2

Answer:

A.  One pound of pistachios plus 1 pound of almonds cost $20

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ Venetta buys 2 pounds of pistachios and 3 pounds of almonds.

Accoding to question ;

The pistachios cost $4 more per pound than the almonds.

She totally pays  $48 for both pistachios and almonds.

Now, at first we have to find the prices of both the items.

Let the price of almond be x;

∴ The prices of pistachios  would be (x+4).

Since Venetta bought 2 ponds of pistachios and 3 pounds of almonds for the total of $ 48.

So, the equation will be,

$2 \times (x +4) + 3 \times x = 48$

$8 + 5\times x = 40$

$5 \times x = 40$

So, x= 8

So, price per pound of almond will be 8

So, price per pound of pistachios will be 12

∴ One pound of pistachios plus 1 pound of almonds cost $20
