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.

Lelechka [254]
Part A:
there is 60% of lemon juice in a 1 liter of water
so 60% *OF* the 1 liter
( of technically means * in mathematics)
so 
60% * 1 liter
or 0.6 * 1 liter
Now to find the total number of liters of lemon juice and water in the bottle
(0.6*1)+x= 1
(x being the amount of water)

Part B: We can calculate the number of liters of lemon juice that are present in the bottle
60% * 1
0.6 * 1
that is 0.6
So there is 0.6 liters of lemon juice in the bottle

Hope this helps :)

If A denotes some​ event, what does Upper A overbar ​denote? If ​P(A)equals0.999​, what is the value of ​P(Upper A overbar​)? Wh
meriva

Answer:

<h3>The event P(\overline{A}) denotes the complement of event A.</h3><h3>The value of P(\overline{A}) is 0.001</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that A denotes some event .

And also given that P(A)=0.999

<h3>To find the value of P(\overline{A}) :</h3>

Here the event P(\overline{A}) denotes the complement of event A Therefore P(\overline{A}) contains all the events that does not occur in A.

We know that the total probability is 1

So we have that

P(A)+P(\overline{A})=1

P(\overline{A})=1 -P(A)

=1-0.999

=0.001

Hence the complement of event A is P(\overline{A})=0.001

<h3>Therefore the value is P(\overline{A})=0.001</h3>

The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program, administered by the Social Security Administration (SSA), is the income source of last resort for thelow-income aged, blind, and disabled. As the nation's largest income-assistance program, it paid $38 billion in benefits in calendar year 2006 to roughly 7 million recipients per month. BecauseSSI is means tested, administering the program often requires month-to-month, recipient-by-recipient benefit recomputations. An increase in a recipient's income usually triggers a benefit recomputation. Or, an increase in the recipient's financial assets, which may render the recipient ineligible, would also prompt a recomputation. With this crush of ongoing recomputations, it is of little wonder that administrative simplification is a time-honored mantra for program administrators.
