Answer: They must mix 10

pounds of the Kenya Blend and 60

pounds of the Queen City Blend.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the the quantity of Kenya coffee blend.

Let y represent the the quantity of Queen City coffee blend.

The quantity o coffee to be created is 70 pounds. This means that

x + y = 70

The coffee distributor needs to mix a(n) Kenya coffee blend that normally sells for $11.60 per pound with a Queen City coffee blend that normally sells for $14.30 per pound to create 70 pounds of a coffee that can sell for $13.91 per pound. The total cost of the mixture is

70 × 13.91 = $973.7

The expression would be

11.6x + 14.3y = 973.7 - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 70 - y into equation 1, it becomes

11.6(70 - y) + 14.3y = 973.7

812 - 11.6y + 14.3y = 973.7

- 11.6y + 14.3y = 973.7 - 812

2.7y = 161.7

y = 161.7/2.7

y = 59.88

Approximately 60 pounds.

x = 70 - y = 70 - 60

x = 10 pounds

Given the demand equation 6x+p-50=0 and the supply equation 6x-p+14=0 where p is the unit price in dollars and x represents the
Katarina [22]

Answer:

The equilibrium quanity and equilibrium price is 3 Thousand units and 32 dollars respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Market equilibrium occurs in those markets in which the quantity demanded by consumers equals the quantity supplied by firms. In this state, the equilibrium point has its corresponding equilibrium quantity and price. That is, the equilibrium point is that point where, for a given price, the quantity supplied is equal to the quantity demanded.

The supply and demand curves represent the quantities that consumers are willing to buy and producers are willing to sell at that price respectively.

Being:

  • demand equation: 6x+p-50=0 ⇒ 6x= 50 - p ⇒ x=\frac{50 - p}{6}
  • the supply equation 6x-p+14=0 ⇒ 6x= p - 14 ⇒ x=\frac{p-14}{6}

Since when the market reaches equilibrium, the quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied and x representing the quantity demanded in units of thousand, then:

\frac{50 - p}{6}=\frac{p-14}{6}

Solving, you get:

6*\frac{50 - p}{6}=p-14

50 - p= p -14

50 - p +14 = p

50 +14= p + p

64= 2*p

p=\frac{64}{2}

P=32 dollars

This value is the equilibrium price. Replacing this value in the demand and supply equation, the equilibrium quantity is obtained, which should be the same for both cases:

  • demand equation:  x=\frac{50 - 32}{6} ⇒ x= 3 Thousand units
  • the supply equation  x=\frac{32-14}{6} ⇒ x=3 Thousand units

So, <u><em>the equilibrium quanity and equilibrium price is 3 Thousand units and 32 dollars respectively.</em></u>

In its graphical representation, the equilibrium point can be seen as that point where the supply and demand curves intersect. You can see this in the attached image, where the blue line represents the supply and the red line the demand.

Select the correct answer.
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

5 4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert a mixed number 2 19

to a improper fraction: 2 1/9 = 2 19 = 2 · 9 + 19 = 18 + 19 = 199

To find new numerator:

a) Multiply the whole number 2 by the denominator 9. Whole number 2 equally 2 * 99 = 189

b) Add the answer from previous step 18 to the numerator 1. New numerator is 18 + 1 = 19

c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 19) over the denominator 9.

Two and one ninth is nineteen ninths

Add: 19

9+ (-29) = 19 + (-2)9= 179

For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators - LCM(9, 9) = 9. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 9 × 9 = 81. In the next intermediate step the fraction result cannot be further simplified by canceling.

In words - nineteen ninths plus minus two ninths = seventeen ninths.

Conversion a mixed number 3 59

to a improper fraction: 3 5/9 = 3 59= 3 · 9 + 59= 27 + 51 = 329

To find new numerator:

a) Multiply the whole number 3 by the denominator 9. Whole number 3 equally 3 * 99 = 279

b) Add the answer from previous step 27 to the numerator 5. New numerator is 27 + 5 = 32

c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 32) over the denominator 9.

Three and five ninths is thirty-two ninths

Add: the result of step No. 2 + 32

9= 179+ 329 = 17 + 329 = 499

For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators - LCM(9, 9) = 9. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 9 × 9 = 81. In the next intermediate step the fraction result cannot be further simplified by canceling.

In words - seventeen ninths plus thirty-two ninths = forty-nine ninths.
