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

1. Find the probability of this set of independent events. rolling a six on the first roll of a 1-6 number cube and rolling an o
jeyben [28]
For the first question, the chance of rolling a six is a 1/6 chance because there is one six and six different sides that could be rolled. As a percent, it would be 16.6 %. The probability of rolling an odd number on the second roll would be a 3/6 chance, which as a percent is 50 %. For the second question, both probabilities are 33 % because in both instances you are drawing three cards from nine total, so it would be 3/9. For the third question, the probability of drawing a blue marble is 3/5, because there are three blue marbles and five total marbles. As a percent, this is 60 %. Following this up with a green marble would be 2/4, because there are now 2 green marbles and four total marbles. One of the marbles was not replaced, so we have one less marble. 2/4 as a percent  is 50%.
