The coffee shop used 52 pounds of Type A coffee.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of Type A coffee per pound = 5.25

Cost of Type B coffee per pound = 4.10

Total pounds used in blend = 142

Total cost = 642.00

Let,

x be the pounds of Type A coffee used

y be the pounds of Type B coffee used

According to given statement;

x+y=142      Eqn 1

5.25x+4.10y=642.00   Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 4.10

4.10(x+y=142)\\4.10x+4.10y=582.20\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

(5.25x+4.10y)-(4.10x+4.10y)=642.00-582.20\\5.25x+4.10y-4.10x-4.10y=59.80\\1.15x=59.80\\

Dividing both sides by 1.15

\frac{1.15x}{1.15}=\frac{59.80}{1.15}\\x=52\\

The coffee shop used 52 pounds of Type A coffee.

The area of a mirror is 225 square inches, and its width is 13 3/4 inches. Will the mirror fit in a space that is 15 inches by 1
gavmur [86]
If you multiply length times width to get area, it's the same with division. You do area divided by length or width. The equation would be 225 divided by 13 3/4. 225/13 3/4= 16.36 inches. 16.36 > 16 inches, so the answer would be no. (The mirrors length and width are 13 3/4 inches by 16 9/25)

Lelechka [254]
The annual snowfall for city B is 7.7 inches. 
Since it is 12.5 inches more: 58.7 - 12.5 = 46.2
Since 46.2 is 6 times that of city B: 46.2 / 6 = 7.7
