21. 3 22. a. Sample answer:
C 5 2.49p 1 3.29w where C represents total cost,
p represents pounds of peanuts purchased and w
represents pounds of walnuts purchased b. 5 packs;
The cost of the nuts is 6(2.49) 1 3(3.29) 5 24.81,
leaving $5.19 for gum. When $5.19 is divided by
$0.95, the quotient is about 5.5, so 5 packs of gum
can be purchased.
23. a. 18 feet b. 121 ft; The landscaper needs
12(18), or 216, feet of fencing, so 216 2 95, or
121, feet of fencing is still needed. c. $257.10;
Because 121 4 15 8.07, 9 rolls are needed. The
