Let x be the number of pounds of the $1.35 beans. The cost of those beans is $1.35 * x, or 1.35x.
<span>Let y be the number of pounds of the $1.05 beans. The cost of those beans is $1.05 * y, or 1.05y. </span>
<span>We know that 120 pounds of the mix sells for $1.15/pound, for a total of 120 * 1.15 = $138. </span>
<span>x + y = 120 </span>
<span>1.35(x) + (1.05)y = 138 </span>
<span>We can rewrite the first as </span>
<span>x = -y + 120 </span>
<span>Now we can substitute (-y + 120) in for (x) in the second equation, because we just proved they're equal. </span>
<span>1.35(x) + 1.05(y) = 138 </span>
<span>1.35(-y + 120) + 1.05y = 138 </span>
<span>-1.35y + 162 + 1.05y = 138 </span>
<span>-0.3y + 162 = 138 </span>
<span>-0.3y = -24 </span>
<span>y = 80 </span>
<span>And since x + y = 120, that means x = 40. </span>
<span>Check: </span>
<span>40 pounds of x at $1.35 costs 40 * 1.35, or $54. </span>
<span>80 pounds of y at $1.05 costs 80 * 1.05, or $84. </span>
<span>Do those add up to our target total, according to the question, of 120 * 1.15 = $138? </span>
Answer:
the overall verical change is down 296 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
-296+140= -156
-156-140=-296
Answer:
y = 15x + 20
Step-by-step explanation:
He charges a flat rate of $20, so any total for hours worked will have an additional $20 added to it.
The 15x represents his earnings per hour. He makes 15 per every hour worked, x represents the number of hours worked
In order to answer this, we need an image to be able to see what they look like.
130.80 is the answer you have to multiply 120 times 1.09
