Lima beans come in 3 pound and 5 pound bags which cost $1.15 and 1.63 respectively. How many of each should you buy 2 have at least 17 pounds of lima beans at the lowest cost?

3 pounds at 1.15 is .38 1/3 cents per pound.\n\n5 pounds at 1.63 is .326 cents per pound.\n\nSo the 5 pound bags are a better deal.\n\n3 5 pound bages would give you 15 pounds at $4.89.\n\nYou have to buy another bag.  One more bag of either size will give you over 17 pounds, so you are better off bying the 3 pound bag, even though it's unit price is more expensive.\n\nSo you should buy 3 5 pound bags and 1 3 pound bag.\n\nEdited - did the addition wrong, sorry.  Pretty sure it's right this time.

I'd like to tell you a couple of tricks for getting ABOUT the right answer, which is often all you need, for instance when you're buying something and want to guard against a major cashier's error.\nMultiplying two numbers: Try to simplify the problem. Say it's 15 cans of something at 39 cents a can. Well 39 is pretty close to 40, so you get 15*40=$6.00. Or if you want it exactly, 15*40=$6.00 but subtract 15 cents because you added it when you simplified. $6.00 - $0.15 = $5.85. That's a lot easier than mentally multiplying 15 by 39.\nOften there seems to be no way to simplify the problem. Like 34 * $0.57. Well see what happens if you decrease one a little and increase the other by the same percentage. Say we take 34 down to 30, that's a little more than 10% less. Then what's a little more than 10% of 57? About 7. So we add 7 to 57, and we have 30 * $.64 = $19.20. The actual answer is $19.38. Again, not too bad. Or a 3-digit number: Try $3.79 * 18. OK, lets put $3.79 up to $4.00, about a 5% increase. Then take about 5% off 18 and it's 17. $4.00 * 17 = $68.00, compared to the exact answer of $68.22. \nHow about when you have a bunch of different items in the supermarket cart and you want the approximate total? Just keep track of the dollars and remember the cents as simple fractions of a dollar. So if you have these items: $1.39, $3.75, $2.19, $7.63, you say 1 & 1/3 plus 3 & 3/4 is 5 & a little; plus 2 & a little is 7 & 1/2; plus 7 & 1/2 is 15. The actual total is $14.96. Again, not too bad, although it won't always be this close. I hope you can use these. It gets easier with practice.

Whenever I needed a 100 or so I would buy about 12 lbs of my favorite cut of meat for about $22, turn it into about 4 lbs of the best jerky in town and sell 1/2 lb bags to my friends for $15.  Now I just work in Iraq and make that before lunch.

Depends on the size.\n\nTry putting 4 or 5 in a bag for $1.  But, I wouldn't make them too big.  People like to feel like they're getting a bargain.\n\nHave Fun!\n\nBest of Luck to YOU!

The cheapest ways of calling Lima are through calling cards (the cards with the best deals can usually be bought at Asian or Latinamerican markets since they have a big demand) or through the internet (skype, etc.).\nUsing regular phones could cost you up to 50 cents a minute to call Peru. The calling cards that I usually buy here in CA cost 5 dollars and give me 400 minute, which is a lot.\n\nThe code to call Peru is 011 +  51 + 1 + phone number.\n011 is to call outside the US. 51 is the code for Peru. 1 is the code for Lima (not 64 as mentioned before). It might be a little more expensive if you call a cell phone.

There is no missing dollar. You can't add them together that way. $25, the right price, plus the $2 the dishonest bellhop kept, plus the three $1's each man got, equals $30.

The total of what? If you're wondering the cost of each type of onion per pound, here's how you do it:\n\nTotal $ spent: $7.08\nYellow onion: 4 pounds, each pound costs $X\nRed onion: 4 pounds, each pound costs $X + .05\nMake an equation - \nTotal money spent equals number of pounds of yellow times cost of yellow plus number of pounds of red times cost of red:\n7.08 = 4(X) + 4(X + 0.05)\nSolve:\n7.08 = 8X + 0.2\n8X = 6.88\nX = .86\nThe cost of red was $X, so red onions are $0.86 per pound.\nThe cost of yellow was $X + 0.05, so yellow onions are $0.91 per pound.\n\nDoes that help?

A lot. They have been as low as $250 an ounce. Very volatile.

Since about 1.8 US Dollars make a UK Pound; 180 GBP (Great Britain Pound) are equal to 327 USD (United States Dollar)... \n\n$327/ 1.8= 181.6\n\nSince your seller is in UK, they probably must have converted the currency from US Dollar to UK Pound for his (seller) convenience. The currency conversion rates vary from time to time (almost daily)... so when you brought the purse, the currency conversion must have come down to $327.\n\nFor more info on current conversion rates and exchange, check out these site:\nhttp://finance.yahoo.com/currency\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exchange_rate
