Suppose you work for a large coffee distributor that has a secret coffee blend it sells to local stores. You mix the Gazebo blen

d with the Mexican Shade Grown blend, but always in the same proportion. Yesterday, you mixed 90 pounds of the Gazebo blend with 27 pounds of the Mexican Shade Grown blend. Today, there is 60 pounds of the Gazebo coffee left in stock. How many pounds of the Mexican Shade Grown coffee should you mix with it to get your secret blend?

Answer:

18lbs of Mexican Shade Grown coffee

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a ratio problem and we are given three values and one variable x (pounds of Mexican Shade Grown coffee needed) we can use the Rule of Three to solve this problem. In this rule we simply multiply the diagonal available values and divide by the third value to get the value of the variable, like so...

90lbs Gazebo  <=====>   27lbs Mexican Blend

60lbs Gazebo  <=====>   x lbs Mexican Blend

(60 * 27) / 90 = x

1620 / 90 = x

18 lbs = x

We need 18lbs of Mexican Shade Grown coffee blend to mix with the 60lbs of Gazebo blend

Samantha is going on vacation for the summer and is trying to choose between two different plans. The first plan costs $450 for
ziro4ka [17]
Pretend the cost of the hotel is called "x" and the amusement park is "y"
make the equations.
450=3x+2y  and  700=5x+3y
since you're solving for amusement park, you basically just solve for y
multiply the first equation by 5 and the second equation by 3.
2250=15x+10y  and  2100=15x+9y
these are a system of equations so subtract one from the other to cancel the x values away.
150=y   so the answer is that a day trip to the amusement park costs $150
