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.

Looking for some furniture for her new apartment, Susan visits the local swap meet in search of something cheap. Knowing that mo
Lady_Fox [76]

The amount that Susan will have to pay in interest is given by: Option A: $5.33 approx.

<h3>How to find the percentage from the total value?</h3>

Suppose the value of which a thing is expressed in percentage is "a'

Suppose the percent that considered thing is of "a" is b%

Then since percent shows per 100 (since cent means 100), thus we will first divide the whole part in 100 parts and then we multiply it with b so that we collect b items per 100 items(that is exactly what b per cent means).

Thus, that thing in number is

\dfrac{a}{100} \times b

For this case, we're given that:

  • Amonut Susan took out = $200
  • Interest rate = 32% annually (interest rates are usually expressed in annual (yearly) terms).
  • Amount paid off within 1 month

The interest was 32% annually, so in monthly terms, it would be 32/12 = 2.667% approx. (as there are 12 months in each year)

Since the balance was paid within one month, the interest would be simply 1 time calculated on the main balance.

Thus, we get:
Interest amount ≈ 2.667% of $200 = \dfrac{200}{100} \times 2.667 = 5.334 \approx 5.33 \: \rm (in \: dollars)

Thus, the amount that Susan will have to pay in interest is given by: Option A: $5.33 approx.
