This is a very hard question but, i am a very hard man.
X - Columbian coffee ( in pounds),
y - Brazilian coffee ( in pounds );
x + y = 100
8.85 x + 3.85 y = 6.55 ( x + y )
----------------------------------------
x = 100 - y
8.85 ( 100 - y ) + 3.85 y = 6.55 * 100
855 - 8.55 y + 3.85 y = 655
- 5 y = - 230
y = ( - 230 ) : ( - 5 )
y = 46
x = 100 - 46
x = 54
Answer: 54 pounds of Columbian coffee and 46 pounds of Brazilian coffee should be used.
X= 2 and y=-2 check by multiplying
Well let’s make it a decimal.
.75 = .84 + Y
So if .84 is more than .75 then subtract
.75 from .84 and you have your answer then convert to fraction
