Arabica coffee costs $28 per pound and Robusta coffee

Mathematics
1 answer:
Soloha48 [4]3 years ago
3 0

Given parameters:

Cost per pound of Arabica coffee  = $28 per pound

Cost of Robusta coffee = $8.75

Given number of pounds of Robusta Coffee = 3 pounds

Total cost of blend per pound = $15.50

Unknown:

Number of pounds of Arabica coffee  = ?

Solution:

Let the number of pounds of Arabica coffee  = A;

  We have to interpret this problem algebraically and solve;

  28A + 8.75(3) = 15.5(A + 3)

Now solve the expression above for A;

       28A + 26.25 = 15.5A + 46.5

       28A - 15.5A  = 46.5 - 26.25

          12.5A = 20.25

                 A  = 1.62

Number of pounds of Arabica Coffee is 1.62 pound

Kendra found this relationship between the quantities in the table.
slava [35]

Answer:

Kendra should have multiplied the x-values by 75 to get the y-values

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Table

X|| Y

1 || 75

2 || 150

3 || 225

4 || 300

5 || 375

Given that Kendra multiply x by 7.5 to get y

The relationship of x and y can be calculated as thus;

y = rx

Where y and x are the values at the y and x column respectively and r is the constant of proportionality

When y = 75, x = 1.

Plug in these values in the above formula

y = rx becomes

75 = r * 1

75 = r

r = 75

When y = 150, x = 2

150 = r * 2

Multiply both sides by ½

150 * ½ = r * 2 * ½

75 = r

r = 75

When y = 225, x = 3

225 = r * 3

Multiply both sides by ⅓

225 * ⅓ = r * 3 * ⅓

75 = r

r = 75

Notice that r remains 75 and the difference between y values is 75

If you apply these formula on when y = 300 or 375 and when x = 4 or 5, the constant of proportionality will remain The value of 75.

Hence, Kendra mistake is that; Kendra should have multiplied the x-values by 75 to get the y-values
