Answer:

29 pounds of type A coffee was used

Step-by-step explanation:

David's shop makes a blend that is a mixture of 2 coffee

Type A costs $4.10

Type B costs $5.25

Let a represent the number of pounds of type A coffee used

Since this month's blend used twice as many pound of type B coffee as type A

a + 2a

The total cost is $423.40

Therefore the amount of pounds of type A coffee used can be calculated as follows

4.10a + 5.25(2a)= 423.40

4.10a + 10.5a= 423.40

14.6a= 423.40

a= 423.40/14.6

a= 29

Hence 29 pounds of type A coffee was used

What is the radius of a sphere with a volume of 12,348 π cubic feet?
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Radius = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a sphere = 4/3 * pie * radius^3

12,348 pie = 4/3 * pie * radius ^3

12,348 = 4/3 * radius^3

(12,348 * 3)/ 4 = radius^3

9261 = radius^3

radius = \sqrt[3]{9261}

radius = 21
