Aldos coffee shop makes a blend that is a mixture of two types of coffee. Type A coffee costs Aldo $5.80 per pound, and type of

B coffee costs $4.65 per pound. This month, Aldo made 156 pounds of the blend, for a total cost of $826.60. How many pounds of type B coffee did he use?

Let A represent amount of Type A coffee pounds used. 
Let B represent amount of Type B coffee pounds used

A + B = 156 
B = 156 - A 
A = 156 - B

5.80A + 4.65B = 826.60 
580 (156 - B) + 4.65B - 826.60 = 0 
904.8 - 5.80B + 4.65B - 826.60 = 0
904.8 - 1.15B - 826.60 = 0 
78.2 - 1.15B = 0 
78.2/1.15 = 1.15B/1.15
68 = B
B = 68 pounds of Type B coffee

There's many more steps you can take to check and etc but am too lazy to put down sorry.

Four students were discussing how to find the unit rate for a proportional relationship. Which method is valid? “Look at the gra
AlladinOne [14]

The correct answer is: [A]: " Look at the graph of the relationship.  Find the y-value of the point that corresponds to x = 1 . That value is the unit rate."

<h3>What is  y-value?</h3>

The vertical value in a pair of coordinates. How far up or down the point is. The Y Coordinate is always written second in an ordered pair of coordinates (x,y) such as (12,5). Also called "Ordinate".

Here, The "y-axis" is located on the "vertical axis" that represents the "dependent variable" (or, at times, the "control value") that cannot be "manipulated" / controlled/ or "selected" / since it represents the "y-value" of the corresponding coordinate to which the "x-value" happens to corresponds to at the given value for "x" .

Thus, the correct answer is: [A]: " Look at the graph of the relationship.  Find the y-value of the point that corresponds to x = 1 . That value is the unit rate."

What are the measures of Angles a, b, and c? Show your work and explain your answers.
jolli1 [7]
Answer: a = 40, b = 50, c = 115

Solution:
a = 40 (the vertical angles are equal)

b = 180 - 40 - a = 50 (the sum of interior angles of triangle is 180)

c = 180 - 65 = 115 (the linear theorem)

A bus company took a tour bus on a ferry when there were 30 people aboard. The ferry charged the bus company $180. The following
OLEGan [10]
Problem: A bus company took a tour bus on the ferry when there were 30 people aboard. The ferry charged the bus company $180. The following week, the bus had 50 people on board and the ferry charged them $220. How much is the "base rate" for the empty bus? How much does each person cost? Show this using y = mx + b form.

Solution:
Let x = the number of people on the bus
Let y = the total cost for the bus with its passengers to use the ferry.

Then, when there are 30 people on the bus (x = 30), the cost was $180 (y = 180). This means the point (x, y) = (30, 180).
Also, when there were 50 people on the bus, the cost was $220. So that is the point (50, 220).

You see - we have two points and so we can write the equation of a line that goes through those points. The first thing we have to do is find the slope.

The slope of the line joining two points is the rise divided by the run. That means

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

So we put in the values of (30, 180) and (50, 220):

m = (220 - 180) / (50 - 30)
m = 40 / 20
m = 2.

The slope is 2. Now we can write it in the form y = mx + b, using 2 for m:

y = 2x + b.

This equation connects both points, so that means it goes through those points. We want to know "b" next, so we can now substitute in either point for the x and the y. I will substitute in x = 50 and y = 220:

220 = 2(50) + b
220 = 100 + b
b + 100 = 220
b = 120.

Now I know the b and the m, so I can finally write the full y=mx + b form of the equation:

y = 2x + 120.

For the other questions, I can look at the equation I got. The y-intercept (b value) is $120. That means that we are adding $120 on to the price all the time. That's the price for the empty bus. The 2x means to multiply the number of people by two and add this to the $120. So each person is $2.

Here's an example: if you had just 10 people on the bus, you'd pay $120 for the empty bus and $2 for each person. That's $20 for the people and $120 for the bus. That total is $140. Let's see if (10, 140) works in the equation we got:

y = 2x + 120
140 ?=? 2(10) + 120
140 ?=? 20 + 120
yes. 140 = 140. It does work.

Now you try it with your question.
