Answer:

x= (8*0.95T) + (4*0.05T)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, great question. These types are questions are the beginning steps for learning more advanced Algebraic Equations.

To solve this problem we are going to need to create an Algebraic Equation to find the final price (x). Since we do not have the total amount of bushels we will use variable T to represent this. Therefore we can use the following Algebraic Equation to find the expected profit the farmer makes.

x= (8*0.95T) + (4*0.05T)

The above formula gives us the expected profit for the farmer (x)

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

David wants to install a fence around his garden. The garden is rectangular and has an area of 240 square feet. One side of the
oee [108]

Answer:

$996

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangular plot has an area that is the product of its length and width. We are given the width as 12 feet, and the area as 240 ft², so we can find the length from ...

... A = L×W

... 240 ft² = L×(12 ft)

... 240 ft²/(12 ft) = L = 20 ft

Opposite sides of the rectangle are the same length, so the cost of fence for a side of a given length will be the sum of the costs of the opposites sides.

The 12 ft side has one segment that is $18 per foot, and one that is $15 per foot. For the 20 ft sides, both are $15 per foot. Then the total cost can be figured from ...

... (12 ft)·($18/ft + $15/ft) + (20 ft)·($15/ft +$15/ft) = 12·$33 +20·$30 = $996

Noah's Café sells special blends of coffee mixtures. Noah wants to create a 20-pound mixture with coffee that sells for $9.20 pe
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Noah needs 8 pounds of the coffee that costs $9.20 per pound and 12 pounds of the coffee that costs $5.50 per pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of pounds of the coffee that sells for 9.20 be x while the number of pounds of the coffee that sells for 5.5 be y.

From the question, we know he wants to make 20 pounds of coffee

Thus;

x + y = 20 •••••••••••(i)

Let’s now work with the values

For the $9.20 per pound coffee, the cost out of the total will be 9.20 * x = $9.20x

For the $5.5 per pound coffee, the cost out of the total be 5.5 * y = $5.5y

The total cost is 20 pounds at $6.98 per pound: that would be 20 * 6.98 = $139.6

Thus by adding the two costs together we have a total of $139.6

So we have our second equation;

9.2x + 5.5y = 139.6 •••••••(ii)

From i, y = 20 - x

Let’s substitute this in ii

9.2x + 5.5(20-x) = 139.6

9.2x + 110 -5.5x = 139.6

9.2x -5.5x = 139.6-110

3.7x = 29.6

x = 29.6/3.7

x = 8 pounds

Recall;

y = 20 - x

y = 20-8

y = 12 pounds
