Answer:
56.25 pound of the coffee that costs $5 per pound is needed
18.75 pound of the coffee that costs $9 per pound is needed
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of pounds be x and y respectively
The total pounds is 75;
So;
x + y. = 75 •••••••(i)
Total cost of first type
9 * x = $9x
Total cost of second type;
5 * y= $5y
75 pound at $6 per pound; total cost of this is;
6 * 75 = $450
Thus;
9x + 5y = 450 ••••••••(ii)
From i, x = 75-y
Put this into ii
9(75-y) + 5y = 450
675 -9y + 5y = 450
4y = 675-450
4y = 225
y = 225/4
y = 56.25
x = 75 - y from i
x = 75-56.25
x = $18.75
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The product of distances to the circle along a secant is the same for all secants intersecting a given point.
a. Secants SW and QT intersect at U. Thus ...
(UT)(UQ) = (US)(UW)
(1.5)(4) = (SU)(3)
SU = (4)(1.5)/3
SU = 2
__
b. Secants PT and PX intersect at P. Thus ...
(PQ)(PT) = (PR)(PX)
PX = (PQ)(PT)/PR) = (2.5)(2.5 +4 +1.5)/3 = 20/3
PX = 6 2/3
