X - Columbian coffee ( in pounds),
y - Brazilian coffee ( in pounds );
x + y = 100
8.85 x + 3.85 y = 6.55 ( x + y )
----------------------------------------
x = 100 - y
8.85 ( 100 - y ) + 3.85 y = 6.55 * 100
855 - 8.55 y + 3.85 y = 655
- 5 y = - 230
y = ( - 230 ) : ( - 5 )
y = 46
x = 100 - 46
x = 54
Answer: 54 pounds of Columbian coffee and 46 pounds of Brazilian coffee should be used.

Answer:

  volume goes to 2.0 L

Step-by-step explanation:

At constant temperature, volume and pressure are inversely related. Increasing the pressure by a factor of 125/50 = 2.5 will cause the volume to be reduced by that factor.

  volume = 5.0L / 2.5

  volume = 2.0 L
