Answer:

Ground Chicory = 7 pounds and Jamaican Blue Mountain = 5 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Joseph would like to make 12 pounds of a coffee blend at a cost of $6.25 per pound.

Total cost of 12 pounds of coffee blend = 6.25 × 12 = $75

Ground Chicory = $4.40 per pound

Jamaican Blue Mountain = $8.84 per pound

Total weight of coffee blend = 12 pounds

Total amount of coffee blend = $75

Let the weight of Chicory be 'x'

The weight of Blue mountain be (12 - x)

75 = 4.40x + 8.84(12-x)

75 = 4.40x + 106.08 + - 8.84x

75 = (4.40x +-8.84x) + 106.08

75 = - 4.44x + 106.08

-4.44x = 75 - 106.08

-4.44x = -31.08

x = 7 pounds

and (12 - x) = 12 - 7 = 5 pounds

Therefore, Ground Chicory would be used 7 pounds and Jamaican Blue Mountain would be used 5 pounds.

katovenus [111]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

I have 14 Baseballs in 23 tennis balls. I bought some boxes of baseballs with 12 baseball to a box and equal amount of boxes of tennis balls with 16 balls to a box. write an expression to represent the total number of balls

Solution:

Let n represent the number of boxes of each type.

Given, the number of boxes of tennis = number of boxes of baseball, hence:

n = number of boxes of tennis = number of boxes of baseball.

Already I have 14 baseball and I bought boxes of baseballs with 12 baseball to a box, therefore:

Number of baseballs = 14 + 12n

I have 23 tennis ball and I bought boxes of tennis balls with 16 baseball to a box, therefore:

Number of tennis balls = 23 + 16n

Total number of balls = number of baseballs + number of tennis balls

Total number of balls = (14 + 12n) + (23 + 16n) = 14 + 23 + 12n + 16n = 37 + 28n

Total number of balls = 37 + 28n
