Answer:

5,11 pounds of Costa Rican coffee and 64,89 pounds of Kenya coffee

Explanation:

First, we need to know the proportion of every coffee in the mix trying with different percentages until getting the result of $13,49  

 

($9,50*25%)+($13,80*75%)=$12,73  

 

($9,50*10%)+($13,80*90%)=$13,37  

 

($9,50*7,5%)+($13,80*92,5%)=$13,48  

 

($9,50*7,3%)+($13,80*92,7%)=$13,49  

 

So, the percentage of Costa Rican coffee is 7,3% and Kenya coffee is 92,7%  

And we can get the pounds required to get 70 pounds  

 

70*7,3%=5,11

 

70*92,7%=64,89

   

We need 5,11 pounds of Costa Rican coffee and 64,89 pounds of Kenyan coffee to create 70 pounds of mixed coffee that can sell for $13,49 per pound

Why do various federal, state, and local government programs help raise people’s standard of living?
ANEK [815]
The government has various reasons for this. first of all, when the living standards are raised, the people will have more disposable income. this allows the people to start buying goods hence the demand will increase. when the demand increases, more tax may also be collected and more supply may be created...this creates jobs as well.
also, an increase in living standards will mean more happy people. this will increase their productivity hence production is increased which can increase amount of tax collected or even increase supply hence make goods cheaper overally. 
last but not least, this will help in improving the health and nutrition of the people as less people will be sleeping hungry and less people will be falling sick. this will allow the government to reduce its spending on the health amenities so that money could be used somewhere else.
