Answer: She should blend 98 lbs of high-quality beans.

She should blend 72 lbs of cheaper beans

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of high quality beans that she should blend.

Let y represent the number of pounds of cheaper beans that she should blend.

She needs to prepare 170 lbs of blended coffee beans. This means that

x + y = 170

She plans to do this by blending together a high-quality bean costing $4.75 per pound and a cheaper bean at $2.00 per pound. The blend would sell for $3.59 per pound. This means that the total cost of the blend would be 3.59×170 = $610.3. This means that

4.75x + 2y = 610.3 - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 170 - y into equation 1, it becomes

4.75(170 - y) + 2y = 610.3

807.5 - 4.75y + 2y = 610.3

- 4.75y + 2y = 610.3 - 807.5

- 2.75y = - 197.2

y = - 197.2/-2.75 = 71.9

y = 72 pounds

x = 170 - y = 170 - 71.9

x = 98.1

x = 98 pounds

xeze [42]

Answer: 136 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The ratio of cranberries and raspberries is 8:9 .

Let quantity of cranberries= 8x , quantity of raspberries = 9x

If quantity of cranberries = 64 ounces

\Rightarrow\ 8x=64\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{64}{8}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=8
