Answer:

23 pounds of the Gualtemala Antigua Blend and 37 pounds of the Tanzanian Blend

Step-by-step explanation:

you need to make a system of equations to solve this.

First lets make x be the pounds of Gualtemala Antigua coffee blend and y the pounds of Tanzanian coffee blend

we know we need 60 pounds total so first equation is

x+y=60

Next we will make an equation based on the money information

10.30x + 13.80y = 12.46(60)

10.30x + 13.80y = 747.60

So our system of equations is

x + y = 60

10.30x + 13.80y = 747.60

I will solve this by using substitution. first rewrite x+y=60 to y=60-x

now i can substitute that into the other equation for y and solve for x

10.30x + 13.80(60-x) = 747.60

10.30x + 828 -13.80x = 747.60

-3.5x + 828 = 747.60

-3.5x = -80.4

x = 23  (rounded from 22.9714 since they requested that)

now I can use this solution to solve for y by plugging into one of the original equations

x + y =60

23 + y =60

y = 37

Finally we can say that they must mix 23 pounds of the Gualtemala Antigua Blend and 37 pounds of the Tanzanian Blend.

Gaetano spent $37.80, including tax, on a pair of jeans. How much did the jeans cost if there was an 8% sales tax?
Fiesta28 [93]
<span>1.       </span><span>Gaetano spent 37.80 dollars including the tax for a pair of jeans
=> the tax is 8%, how much is the original cost of a pair of jeans?
=> 8% = 8/100
=> .08
Now, multiply .08 by 37.80 to get the 8% of 37.80
=> 37.80 x .08
=> 3.024 – this is the tax of a pair of jeans.
now, let’s subtract 3.024 by 37.80 to get the actual price of a pair of jeans.
=> 37.80 – 3.024
=> 34.776 – the original price of a pair of jeans without tax.
