Answer 1

Cindy needs 2.1 cups of Raisins.

Explanation:

Given:

Bowl contains = 7 cups of mix.

Contents of raisin in mix is 30%.

Contents of peanuts in mix is 70%.

We need to find amount of raisin in the mix.

Amount of peanut can be calculated by multiplying Contents of peanut in mix with total mix contains in the bowl.

Amount of Peanut =
`70\% * 7 = (70)/(100)* 7 = 0.7 * 7 = 4.9`

Amount of raisin can be calculated by multiplying Contents of raisin in mix with total mix contains in the bowl.

Amount of raisins =
`30\% * 7 = (30)/(100)* 7 = 0.3 * 7 = 2.1`

Hence Cindy needs 2.1 cups of Raisins and 4.9 cups of peanut.
