X=pounds of coffee bean ($0.20 per pound)
y=pounds of coffee bean ($0.68 per pound )
We can suggest this system of equations:
x+y=120
(0.20x+0.68 y) / (x+y)=0.54 ⇒ (0.2x+0.68y)=0.54(x+y)
We can solve this system by substitution method.
x+y=120 ⇒ y=120-x
0.2x+0.68(120-x)=0.54[x+(120-x)]
0.2x+81.6-0.68x=0.54(120)
-0.48x+81.6=64.8
-0.48x=64.8-81.6
-0.48x=-16.8
x=-16.8/-0.48
x=35
y=120-x=120-35=85
Answer: the coffee mixture has 35 pounds of coffee beans sold to $0.2 a pound, and 85 pounds of coffee beans sold to $0.68 a pound, the solutions is reasonable because the price of a coffee mixture ($0.54 a pound) is greater than $0.2 and smaller than $0.68.
Step-by-step explanation:
I=prt
I=7400×(26.5/100)×1
I=$1961
total money 7400+1962= $9361
Answer: The two integers are 8 and 9.
Step-by-step explanation: Let n represent the number.
n^2 + (n + 1)^2 = 145
By foiling, this can be rearranged to:
n^2 + n^2 + 2n + 1 = 145
Subtract 145 from both sides:
2n^2 + 2n - 144 = 0
Divide both sides by 2:
n^2 + n - 72 = 0
Factor the polynomial:
(n + 9)(n - 8) = 0
Solve for n:
n = -9, n = 8
Since they need to be consecutive, make the 9 positive. It will be positive either way because it is being squared.
Now, n = 9 and n = 8.
These are your two integers. Hope this helps!
