Answer:

16 lb of fresh coffee.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  x pound be the  amount of fresh coffee needed.

100 - 12 = 88%  is equivalent to 14 2/25  of roasted coffee.

By proportion  x = 14 2/25  /  88/100

= 352 / 25 * 100/88

= 35200 / 25 * 88

= 16 lb  (answer).

One number is five less than a second number. Five times the first is 15 more than 6 times the second. Find the numbers
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

x = -45, y = -40

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the first clue, we find out that

x + 5 = y

5x = 6y + 15

We can re-write the first equation to x = y - 5.

Therefore, the second equation can also be written as 5(y - 5) = 6y + 15

This can be simplified to 5y - 25 = 6y + 15

We can subtract 6y from each side, and add 25 to each side;

5y - 6y = 15 + 25

Therefore, -y = 40

Therefore y = -40.

Now let's plug this back into the original equation, to get : x  + 5 = -40

x=-45
