Answer:

<u>Kaapo will use 17.5 pounds of Kona beans and 7.5 pounds of Maui beans for his blend to cost him $ 17.70 per pound.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the problem correctly:

Number of pounds of the coffee blend = 25

Cost of Kona beans = US$ 15 per pound

Cost of Maui beans = US$ 24 per pound

Cost of the coffee blend = US$ 17.70 per pound

2. How many pounds of each coffee bean should Kaapo use for his blend to cost him $17.70 per pound?

Let's build our equation to answer the question, this way:

x = Number of pounds of Kona beans for Kaapo's blend

25 - x = Number of pounds of Maui beans for Kaapo's blend

Number of pounds of Kona beans for Kaapo's blend * Cost of Kona beans +  Number of pounds of Maui beans for Kaapo's blend * Cost of Maui beans = Number of pounds of the coffee blend * Cost of the coffee blend

Replacing with the real values, we have:

15x + 24 (25-x) = 17.70 * 25

15x + 600 - 24x = 442.50

-9x = 442.50 - 600

-9x = -157.50

x = -157.50/-9

x = 17.50 ⇒ 25 - x = 7.50

<u>Kaapo will use 17.5 pounds of Kona beans and 7.5 pounds of Maui beans for his blend to cost him $ 17.70 per pound.</u>

A farmer creates a rectangular pen using part of the wall of a barn for one side of the pen and a total of 130 feet of fencing f
Nat2105 [25]

The equation that describes the which gives the area of the pen, A, as a function of x, the length of fence parallel to the barn is A = 130x - x²

<h3>How to find area of a rectangle?</h3>

The pen is rectangular. Therefore,

area of a rectangle = lw

where

  • l = length
  • w = width

Therefore,

perimeter = 2w + l

perimeter = 2w + x

130 = 2w + x

130 - x = 2w

w = 65 - 1/ 2 x

A = xw

A = x(65 - 1/ 2 x)

A = 65x - 1 / 2 x²

Therefore, the function that represents A, the area of the pen is as follows:

A = 130x - x²
