Answer: They should buy 12 pounds of City Roast and 8 pounds of French Roast.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the weight of City Roast colombian coffee.

Let y be the weight of French Roast Colombian coffee.

Weight of blend = 20 pounds

So, our equation becomes

x+y=20--------------(1)

Cost of per pound of City Roast = $7.80

Cost of per pound of French Roast = $8.10

Cost of blend = $7.92

So, our equation becomes,

7.80x+8.10x=7.92\times 20\\\\7.8x+8.1y=158.4--------(2)

From Eq(1), we get that

x=20-y

Put this in Eq(2), we get that

7.8(20-y)+8.10y=158.4\\\\156-7.8y+8.10y=158.4\\\\0.3y=158.4-156\\\\0.3y=2.4\\\\y=\dfrac{2.4}{0.3}\\\\y=8

x=20-y\\\\x=20-8\\\\x=12

Hence, they should buy 12 pounds of City Roast and 8 pounds of French Roast.

The speed of light is estimated at 186,000 miles per second rounded to the nearest thousand miles per second.
4vir4ik [10]

It was rounding to the nearest THOUSAND.

We are looking at the thousands place, keep that in mind.

Remember: everything 5 and above is rounded up, everything below 5 is rounded down.

186,789 is above 500, it is rounded to 187,000

186,899 is above 500, it is rounded to 187,000

185,990 is above 500, it is rounded to 186,000

and 185,190 is below 500, it is rounded to 185,000

Only one matches the criteria of the question:

185,990 is above 500, it is rounded to 186,000

therefore the answer is 185,990 miles per second

Sarafina and Katie have between $105 and $420 dollars to spend on jewelry for Christmas presents for their friends. If they buy
algol13

Answer:

66

Step-by-step explanation:

105+420=525   (Total Money)

7x3.25=22.75   (Cost of all bracelets)

8x11.74=93.92   (Cost of all necklaces)

93.92+22.75=116.67   (Cost of all Christmas presents)

525-116.67=408.33   (Total money - Cost of all Christmas presents)

408.33/6.15=66.39...   (Amount of necklaces)

since in real life you can only buy a whole number of things, you would round down 66.39 to 66. I hope this helped!

Find the value of 7v-10 given that -11v-7=4. Simplify your answer as much as possible.
densk [106]

First thing to do is solve the given equation for v

-11v-7 = 4

-11v = 4+7

-11v = 11

v = 11/(-11)

v = -1

Once we know this, we can use it to compute the following

7v-10 = 7*(-1) - 10 = -7 - 10 = -17

--------------------------------

Answer: -17

if an external point of a circle is at a distance equal to the diameter of the circle from the center of the circle, the length
jeka57 [31]

Let the radius of the circle be r. Then the line from the external point through the center of the circle which extends to the far point on the circle has length 3r .By the tangent - secant theorem

t^2 = 3r * r = 3r^2 ( where t is the length of the tangent).

So t = √(3r^2) = √3r answer.

I need help with this question.
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

59

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that all the angles must add up to 180

so we have

38+2b-20+b-15=180

solve for b

3b+3=180

3b=177

b=59
