Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Rise/Run - Y/X
x is going up 5
y is going up 1
so the slope is 1/5
Eight should be the answer you are looking for.
Given:
h = high quality bean ; costs 6 per pound
c = cheaper bean ; costs 3.25 per pound
160 pounds of blended coffee beans at 4.97 per pound
h + c = 160
6h + 3.25c = 160(4.97)
6h + 3.25c = 795.20
h = 160 - c
6(160-c) + 3.25c = 795.20
960 - 6c + 3.25c = 795.20
- 2.75c = 795.20 - 960
- 2.75c = -164.80
c = - 164.80 / -2.75
c = 59.92 or 60 pounds
h = 160 - c
h = 160 - 60
h = 100 pounds
Sarah must blend 100 pounds of high quality bean and 60 pounds of cheaper bean.
From the equation of a line;
y=mx+c
m=2
y=2x+c
Replacing for;
y=1
x=3
1=2*3+c
1=6+c
c=1-6
c=-5
<span>y=2x-5</span>
The difference between the smoker and the non-smoker is $151
1000 x $7.85 = $785
1000 x $9.36 = $936
= $151
