Answer:

C. 4.2 pounds Brand A. 0.8 pounds Brand B

Step-by-step explanation:

How much of each brand of coffee is needed to make 5 pounds that will cost

$6.75/pound?

Let the number of pounds for Brand A = x

Let the number of pounds for Brand B = y

Brand A coffee sells for $7/pound, while Brand B sells for $5.40/pound.

$7 × x + $5.40 × y = $6.75 × 5

7x + 5.40y = 33.75.......Equation 1

x + y = 5 .......Equation 2

x = 5 - y

7(5 - y)+ 5.40y = 33.75

35 - 7y + 5.40y = 33.75

35 - 33.75 = 7y - 5.40y

= 1.25 = 1.6y

y = 1.25/1.6

y = 0.78125 pounds.

Approximately to the nearest whole number, Brand B = 0.8 pounds.

x = 5 - y

x = 5 - 0.8 pounds

x = 4.2 pounds

Brand A = 4.2 pounds

Find the area of the shaded region to the nearest tenth. See picture for full problem. Please and thank you so much!
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Radius =6 ft

Area of circle = πr²

                      = 3.14 * 6 * 6

                      = 113.04 ft²

base = 10.39 ft

height = 6+3 = 9 ft

Area \ of \ triangle = \dfrac{1}{2}*base * height\\\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}*10.39*9\\

= 46.76 ft²

Area of the shaded region = area of circle - area of triangle

             = 113.04 - 46.76

            = 66.28

             = 66.3 ft²
