Let x be the number of pounds of the $1.35 beans. The cost of those beans is $1.35 * x, or 1.35x.
<span>Let y be the number of pounds of the $1.05 beans. The cost of those beans is $1.05 * y, or 1.05y. </span>
<span>We know that 120 pounds of the mix sells for $1.15/pound, for a total of 120 * 1.15 = $138. </span>
<span>x + y = 120 </span>
<span>1.35(x) + (1.05)y = 138 </span>
<span>We can rewrite the first as </span>
<span>x = -y + 120 </span>
<span>Now we can substitute (-y + 120) in for (x) in the second equation, because we just proved they're equal. </span>
<span>1.35(x) + 1.05(y) = 138 </span>
<span>1.35(-y + 120) + 1.05y = 138 </span>
<span>-1.35y + 162 + 1.05y = 138 </span>
<span>-0.3y + 162 = 138 </span>
<span>-0.3y = -24 </span>
<span>y = 80 </span>
<span>And since x + y = 120, that means x = 40. </span>
<span>Check: </span>
<span>40 pounds of x at $1.35 costs 40 * 1.35, or $54. </span>
<span>80 pounds of y at $1.05 costs 80 * 1.05, or $84. </span>
<span>Do those add up to our target total, according to the question, of 120 * 1.15 = $138? </span>
Answer:
4, 8, 16, 32, 64
Step-by-step explanation:
The nth term of a geometric sequence is
= a₁
Given
a₇ = 256 and a₁₀ = 2048 , then
a₁ 
= 256 → (1)
a₁ 
= 2048 → (2)
Divide (2) by (1)
= 
r³ = 8 ( take the cube root of both sides )
r = ![\sqrt[3]{8}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B8%7D)
= 2
Substitute r = 2 into (1)
a₁ × 
= 256
a₁ × 64 = 256 ( divide both sides by 64 )
a₁ = 4
Then
a₁ = 4
a₂ = 2a₁ = 2 × 4 = 8
a₃ = 2a₂ = 2 × 8 = 16
a₄ = 2a₃ = 2 × 16 = 32
a₅ = 2a₄ = 2 × 32 = 64
Answer:
S₁₅ = 645
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum to n terms of an arithmetic sequence is
= 
[ 2a₁ + (n - 1)d ]
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Using the nth term formula = 5n + 3 , then
a₁ = 5(1) + 3 = 5 + 3 = 8
a₂ = 5(2) + 3 = 10 + 3 = 13 , then
d = a₂ - a₁ = 13 - 8 = 5
Thus
S₁₅ = 
[ (2 × 8) + (14 × 5) ]
= 7.5( 16 + 70)
= 7.5 × 86
= 645
2 pints are in 1 quart.
So, there would be 16 quarts and 1 pint in 33 pints.
I am not sure about the answer but all you have to think about is what is 100 divided by 3
