How many hours did she work on Saturday? hours ∙ rate = total value Multiply across Add down school Saturdays Mixture 3(12 – x) + 4x = 42.50 36 – 3x + 4x = 42.50 36 + x = 42.50 x = 6.50 6 hours 30 min on Saturdays

5. Mixture Notes Paper 3) Raisins are worth $3.24 per pound was mixed with dried apricots worth $4.22 per pound to produce a mixture worth $3.80 per pound. If there were 15 pounds of raisins then calculate the amount of dried apricots in the mixture. Quantity ∙ cost = total value Multiply across Add down Raisins Apricots Mixture 15(324) + x(422) = 380(15 + x) 4860 + 422x = 5700 + 380x 4860 + 42x = 5700 42x = 840 x = 20 apricots
