Given:
let h be the high quality bean
let c be the cheaper bean

h + c = 160
6h + 3.25c = 160*4.97
6h + 3.25c = 795.20

h = 160 - c
6(160 - c) + 3.25c = 795.20
960 - 6c + 3.25c = 795.20
-2.75c = 795.20 - 960 
-2.75c = -164.80
c = -164.80 / -2.75
c = 59.92 or 60 lbs

h = 160 - c
h = 160 - 60
h = 100 lbs

Sarah should blend 60 lbs of cheap coffee bean and 100 lbs of high quality coffee bean.

makkiz [27]

Answer:

$1456.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

P= $1,250

t= 3 years

r=5.5%

The compound interest expression is given as

A= P(1+r)^t

substitute

A=  1250(1+0.055*3)

A=  1250(1+ 0.165)

A= 1250(1.165)

A= 1456.25

Hence the amount after 3 years is $1456.25
