Answer 1

Answer:

the amount paid, in dollars, for the chocolate is 9x (option A)

The total weight of the bag = x + y (option D)

The cost per pound of almond is $11 (option F)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of pounds of chocolate = x

number of pounds of almonds = y

Total payment made for the chocolate and almond = 9x + 11y dollars

To find:

3 correct statements from the options

To determine the correct statements, we will check each of the options

a) since the pounds of chocolate is x and in the payment, we have 9x. it means each pound of chocolate cost $9

Hence, the amount paid, in dollars, for the chocolate is 9x

b) The pounds of almonds = y

It means 11y represents the payment for the almonds

Hence, the amount paid, in dollars, for the chocolate is not 11y

c) total weight of the bag cannot be 9x + 11y since that represents the total payment

d) The total weight of the bag = pounds of chocolate + pounds of almonds

The total weight of the bag = x + y

e) The cost per pound of chocolate is $9 not $11

f) the total payment for almond = 11y

The cost per pound of almond is $11
