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.

Can someone please help me
Ainat [17]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

If the two triangles are similar, then corresponding sides must share a constant ratio. This means that:

\dfrac{10}{6}=\dfrac{25}{15}=\dfrac{x}{12}

Let's use the second ratio:

\dfrac{25}{15}=\dfrac{x}{12}

Multiply both sides by 12:

\dfrac{25\cdot 12}{15}=x \\\\x=20

Hope this helps!
