Answer:

Sam had 80 dollars in his pocket. He was feeling generous, so he handed out equal amount of money to each of his friends. After he handed out the money, he had 53 dollars left. How much did Sam give out to each one of his friends?

Step-by-step explanation:

In this real-world problem, the money he had at the beginning resembles the 80 in the equation. The -3x is the money he gives out to each of his friends. The 53 on the right-hand side is the money he has left after he gives the money away.

If f(x) = 8x + 9, each time x increases by 1 unit, f(x) increases by units.

7 Units.

8(1)+9= 17
8(2)+9=25
8(3)+9=33

33-25=7. 25-17=7

15% of x is 27, x= what? please helppp meeee

natta225 [31]

Answer:

$\huge \boxed{x=180}$

Step-by-step explanation:

15% of x = 27

$\sf 15\% \cdot x =27 \\\\\\ 0.15x=27 \\\\\\ Divide \ both \ sides \ by \ 0.15. \\\\\\ \frac{0.15x}{0.15} = \frac{27}{0.15} \\\\\\ x = 180$

15% of 180 is 27.

The production planner for Fine Coffees, Inc. Produces two coffee blends: American (A) and British (B). He can only get 300 poun

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

P=2A+B where:

A= # of pounds of American blend and

B= # of pounds of British blend

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a linear programming problem. In order to solve it we need to determine how we are going to use the provided data and we need to keep in mind what we need to maximize (or minimize depending on the problem)

So, the problem states that "The goal of Fine Coffees, Inc. Is to maximize profits." This last sentence will tell us what the objective function will be. The objective function must model the desired value we want to maximize. So the objective function should represent the profits of selling the two tipes of cofee blends.

So this is the data the problem gives us:

"He can only get 300 pounts of Colombian beans per week and 200 pounts of Dominican beans per week." This part or the problem is talking about the amount of coffee beans he can get depending on its type. This will help us find the restrictions for our linear programming problem, so they are not necessary to state the objective function. Next it states:

"Each pount of American blend cofee requires 12 oz of Colombian beans and 4 oz. of Dominican beans, while a pound of British blend coffee uses 8 oz of each type of bean." Again, this data will help us find the restrictions for our linear programming problem, since they will tell us how much coffe we can manufacture, so they are not needed to find the objective function.

The next part states: "Profits for the American blend are $2.00 per pound, and profits for the British blend are $1.00 per pound." Now, we are interested in this part since it's talking about profits, which is what we need to maximize.

We set A to be the number of pounds of American blend and B to be the number of pounds of British blend. So the profit for American blend is found by using the following equation:

$P_{American}=$2.00*A$
