Answer:

78 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say Yolanda makes a pounds of Type A coffee and b pounds of Type B coffee. Since the total number of pounds is 130, we can write the equation:

a + b = 130

We know the cost of Type A coffee is $5.20/lb and the cost of Type B coffee is $4.05/lb, so since the total cost is $586.30, we can write:

5.20a + 4.05b = 586.30

We can now solve the system of equations:

a + b = 130

5.20a + 4.05b = 586.30

Manipulate the first equation by subtracting b from both sides:

a + b = 130

a = 130 - b

Substitute 130 - b for a in the second equation:

5.20a + 4.05b = 586.30

5.20 * (130 - b) + 4.05b = 586.30

676 - 5.20b + 4.05b = 586.30

Move the terms with b to one side:

1.15b = 89.70

b = 78

Thus, Yolanda used 78 pounds of Type B coffee.

What is the formula for calculating a residual value
Ksivusya [100]
The formula to figure residual value follows: Residual Value = The percent of the cost you are able to recover from the sale of an item x The original cost of the item. For example, if you purchased a $1,000 item and you were able to recover 10% of its cost when you sold it the residual value is $100!!
