Let x = pounds of $12 per pound coffee
then
20-x = pounds of $9 per pound coffee
.
12x + 9(20-x) = 10(20)
12x + 180 - 9x = 200
3x + 180 = 200
3x = 20
x = 20/3
x = 6 and 2/3 pounds of $12 per pound coffee
.
Amount of $9 per pound coffee:
20-x = 20-20/3 = 60/3 - 20/3 = 40/3
or
13 and 1/3 pounds of $9 per pound coffee
The answer is 0.3. To find this answer, <span>1/2 / 3/5 = <span>56</span> ≅ 0.8333333</span>
You can work this out by rearranging the equation and isolating the x.
4x + 12 = 36
4x = 36 - 12 (I moved the +12 to the other side, which means it becomes -12)
4x = 24 (36 - 12 = 24)
x = 24 / 4 (You need to isolate the x, and because it was being multiplied by 4, I divided both sides by 4 to leave me with just x)
x = 6 (24 divided by 4 is 6).

First of all, i will change 3/8 into decimal which equal 0.375. Then,
(36.4÷1.6)-(0.375×1.5)
=22.75-0.5625
=22.1875. Hope it help!
