Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x
be the kg of coffee of brand A in the mix and
y
be the kg of coffee of brand B in the mix.
The total kg must be
50
.
x
+
y
=
50
The cost per kg of the mix must br
$
7.20
. For this, the total cost of the mix will be
6
x
+
8
y
, so the total cost per kg of the mix will be
6
x
+
8
y
50
.
6
x
+
8
y
50
=
7.20
Now that we have our two equations, we can solve.
6
x
+
8
y
=
7.20
⋅
50
6
x
+
8
y
=
360
From the first equation, we can multiply both sides by
6
to get:
6
x
+
6
y
=
300
Subtracting, we get:
2
y
=
60
y
=
30
Thus, we need
30
kg of brand B in our mix. This means that
50
−
30
=
20
kg will be of brand A.
10^10 = 100
20^2 = 400
29^29 = 841
28^28 = 784
Answer:
C. A rate with one (1) in the denominator
A unit rate is basically a ratio of something to one.
example:
if 10 bananas costs ten dollars then one banana would cost one dollar.
Step-by-step explanation:
B is the correct answer for this question
Total number of stocks bought = 20
Rate at which each stocks were bought = 31 1/2
= 63/2
Rate at which 20 stocks were bought = 20 * (63/2) dollars
= 10 * 63 dollars
= 630 dollars
Rate at which each stocks were sold = 35 1/4
= 141/4 dollars
Rate at which 20 stocks were sold = 20 * (141/4) dollars
= 5 * 141 dollars
= 705 dollars
Then
Amount of profit made by selling 20 stocks = (705 - 630) dollars
= 75 dollars
So the total amount of profit made is $75. The correct option in regards to the given question is option "D".
