Let x be the number of pounds of the $1.35 beans. The cost of those beans is $1.35 * x, or 1.35x.
<span>Let y be the number of pounds of the $1.05 beans. The cost of those beans is $1.05 * y, or 1.05y. </span>
<span>We know that 120 pounds of the mix sells for $1.15/pound, for a total of 120 * 1.15 = $138. </span>
<span>x + y = 120 </span>
<span>1.35(x) + (1.05)y = 138 </span>
<span>We can rewrite the first as </span>
<span>x = -y + 120 </span>
<span>Now we can substitute (-y + 120) in for (x) in the second equation, because we just proved they're equal. </span>
<span>1.35(x) + 1.05(y) = 138 </span>
<span>1.35(-y + 120) + 1.05y = 138 </span>
<span>-1.35y + 162 + 1.05y = 138 </span>
<span>-0.3y + 162 = 138 </span>
<span>-0.3y = -24 </span>
<span>y = 80 </span>
<span>And since x + y = 120, that means x = 40. </span>
<span>Check: </span>
<span>40 pounds of x at $1.35 costs 40 * 1.35, or $54. </span>
<span>80 pounds of y at $1.05 costs 80 * 1.05, or $84. </span>
<span>Do those add up to our target total, according to the question, of 120 * 1.15 = $138? </span>
<u>To find the constant of proportionality:</u>
⇒ must define constant of proportionality
⇒ <em>Constant of Proportionality: ratio of two proportional values at a </em>
constant value
⇒ (in this case) two proportional values are x and y
<u>The ratio between x and y is equal to</u>
<u>Answer:</u> <u>55</u> or <u>Choice 1</u>
<u></u>
Hope that helps!
I think answer should be d. Please give me brainlest let me know if it’s correct or not okay thanks bye bye
Answer:
27
Step-by-step explanation:
75×36=2700
2700/100=27
To prove that triangles TRS and SUT are congruent we can follow these statements:
1.- SR is perpendicular to RT: Given
2.-TU is perpendicular to US: Given
3.-Angle STR is congruent with angle TSU: Given.
4.-Reflexive property over ST: ST is congruent with itself (ST = ST)
From here, we can see that both triangles TRS and SUT have one angle of 90 degrees, another angle that they both have, and also they share one side (ST) ,then:
5.- By the ASA postulate (angle side angle), triangles TRS and SUT are congruent
