Answer: 30 pounds of coffee beans worth $10.50 per pound was used.
20 pounds of coffee beans worth $13.00 per pound was used.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of coffee beans worth $10.50 per pound that should be mixed.
Let y represent the number of coffee beans worth $13.00 per pound that should be mixed.
50 pounds of beans worth $11.50 per pound is to be made. The total cost of the mixture would be
50 × 11.5 = 575
This means that
10.5x + 13y = 575 - - - - - - - 1
The total number of pounds of each type of coffee used is 50. This means that
x + y = 50
Substituting x = 50 - y into equation 1, it becomes.
10.5(50 - y) + 13y = 575
525 - 10.5y + 13y = 575
- 10.5y + 13y = 575 - 525
2.5y = 50
y = 50/2.5 = 20
x = 50 - 20= 30
To find the 20th term in this sequence, we can simply keep on adding the common difference all the way until we get up to the 20th term.
The common difference is the number that we are adding or subtracting to reach the next term in the sequence.
Notice that the difference between 15 and 12 is 3.
In other words, 12 + 3 = 15.
That 3 that we are adding is our common difference.
So we know that our first term is 12.
Now we can continue the sequence.
12 ⇒ <em>1st term</em>
15 ⇒ <em>2nd term</em>
18 ⇒ <em>3rd term</em>
21 ⇒ <em>4th term</em>
24 ⇒ <em>5th term</em>
27 ⇒ <em>6th term</em>
30 ⇒ <em>7th term</em>
33 ⇒ <em>8th term</em>
36 ⇒ <em>9th term</em>
39 ⇒ <em>10th term</em>
42 ⇒ <em>11th term</em>
45 ⇒ <em>12th term</em>
48 ⇒ <em>13th term</em>
51 ⇒ <em>14th term</em>
54 ⇒ <em>15th term</em>
57 ⇒ <em>16th term</em>
60 ⇒ <em>17th term</em>
63 ⇒ <em>18th term</em>
66 ⇒ <em>19th term</em>
<u>69 ⇒ </u><u><em>20th term</em></u>
<u><em></em></u>
This means that the 20th term of this arithemtic sequence is 69.

Answer:
60
Step-by-step explanation:
find the area of the missing rectangle:
18-12=6
4-2=2
6 * 2= 12
find the area of the rectangle:
(18*4)-12=60
Sales tax = 6% or 6/100.
assuming tax is added onto the item:
total cost function f(x) = price + tax
however, assuming the cost price = sales price - tax, then:
f(x) = sales price - tax
This is not really a business or accounting forum, its a maths forum, so you need to be clearer about business or accounting terms such as total cost, selling price, selling cost.
