Question

The Coffee Counter charges ​$8 per pound for Kenyan French Roast coffee and ​$7 per pound for Sumatran coffee.

Answer 1

Answer:

Kenyan French Roast coffee x=6

Sumatran coffee y=14

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=20     blend coffee

8x+7y=7.3(20)     selling price

x+y=20 ⇒ x=20-y

substitute in the equation:

8x+7y=7.3(20)

8(20-y)+7y=7.3(20) for 20 pound blend

160-8y+7y=146

-y=146-160

y=14 pond

x+y=20

x=20-14=6

check : 14*7+6(8)=146/7.3=20 pound
