Answer:

200 pencils and 120 pens

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of pencils be x while pens be y.

Considering the cost of whole purchase then, we get the equation

0.5x+y=220

Considering the number of items bought, then the equation is

x-y=80

Adding the two equations then we have

1.5x=300

x=300/1.5=200

Consideeing that x-y=80 and x is 200 then

200-y=80

y=200-80=120

Therefore, the pencils were 200 and pens 120 pieces

The marginal price per pound (in dollars) at which a coffee store is willing to supply x pounds of Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee
il63 [147K]

Answer:

Thus, the coffee shop is willing to supply 6 pounds per week at a price of $4 per pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

The marginal price per pound (in dollars) is given by:

p'(x) = \displaystyle\frac{208}{(x+7)^2}

where x is the supply in pounds.

P(x) = \displaystyle\int p'(x)~dx =\displaystyle\int\displaystyle\frac{208}{(x+7)^2}~dx\\\\P(x) = \frac{-208}{(x+7)} + c\\\\\text{where c is the constant of integration.}

The coffee shop is willing to supply 9 pounds per week at a price of $7 per pound.

Thus, we are given that

P(9) = 7

Putting the values, we get,

P(x) = \displaystyle\frac{-208}{(x+7)} + c\\\\P(9) = 7\\\\\displaystyle\frac{-208}{(9+7)} + c = 7\\\\c = 7 + \frac{208}{16} = 20

P(x) = \displaystyle\frac{-208}{(x+7)} + 20

Now, we have to find how many pounds it would be willing to supply at a price of $4 per pound.

P(x) = 4

P(x) = \displaystyle\frac{-208}{(x+7)} + 20 = 4\\\\\frac{-208}{x+7} = -16\\\\x + 7 = 13\\x = 6

Thus, the coffee shop is willing to supply 6 pounds per week at a price of $4 per pound.
