50 quarts of 5% butterfat and 1% butterfat milk are to be mixed.

<u>SOLUTION: </u>

First, I will set up my table. I will fill in the unknowns with variables x and y.

The table is attached below

From the table attached below, we can easily set up the two equations.  

<em>Sum of values of two milks = Value of mixture  </em>

0.05x + 0.01y = 3  

For convenience, we'll multiply the entire equation by 100,

5 x + y = 300 ------> (1)  

Now, Sum of amounts of each acid = Amount of mixture  

x + y = 100 ---------> (2)

Subtracting equation (2) from (1),  

( + ) 5 x + y = 300

( − ) x -  y = 100

− − − − − − − −

( = ) 4x + 0y = 200  

Thus, 4x = 200  

x = 50

Substituting x = 50 in (2),

( 50 ) + y = 100  

y  = 100 – 50 = 50  

hence, 50 quarts of 5% butterfat and 1% butterfat milk are to be mixed.

Let m be the slope:

m=(y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)

solve for c:

1/6=(9-c)/(1-7)

1/6=(9-c)/-6

-1=9-c

-10=-c

c=10

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Brett orders 2 meatball,1 turkey,1 veggie party-size sandwiches.

Each sandwich costs the same amount.

The total amount cost of the sandwiches, including tax, is $54.36.

Question asked:

What is the cost of each sandwich including tax?

Solution:

Let cost of each sandwich including tax = x

<u>Total number of sandwich = 2 + 1+ 1 = 4</u>

<u><em>As each sandwich costs the same amount and total amount of cost of 4  sandwiches, including tax, is $54.36, the equation will be:-</em></u>

x+x+x+x=\$54.36\\4x=\$54.36

By dividing both sides by 4,

x=\$13.59

Thus, the cost of each sandwich including tax is $13.59
