Given:
Cost of protein = $10.25 per pound
Cost of spirulina = $22.45 per pound
Cost of blend = $16.35 per pound
Weight of blend = 140 pounds
To find:
The quantity of spirulina it will need to make the blend.
Solution:
Let x be the quantity of protein and y be the quantity of spirulina in the blend. Then,
...(i)
Equation (i) can be written as:
...(ii)
...(iii)
Using (ii) and (iii), we get
Divide both sides by 12.2.
Therefore, 70 pounds of the spirulina it will need to make the blend.
Ok first of all, I EXTREMELY appreciate your use of parenthesis. Ok so first just raise both sides to the power of 1/2.
You'll see why I didn't include a negative. Then apply the log base 3/8 and you get
Then you split the log up and you get
You couldn't put a negative value for a log. That is why I excluded the negative part of the sqrt.
