Answer:

612 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Amount of the total mixture = 6000 pounds

Also, for each batch, there needs to be at least 25% bluegrass seed.

It implies that:

In 6000 pounds, there are (25×6000)/100 = 1500 pounds of bluegrass seed.

The remaining amount of (6000 - 1500 = 4500)pounds will be for rye and Bermuda.

Suppose the amount of rye seeds = x pounds

while that of Bermuda is (4500 - x) pounds

Then, since the amount of Bermuda contains no more than 2/3 of that of rye.

The equation can be written as:

( 4500 - x) = \dfrac{2x}{3}

13500 - 3x = 2x

13500 = 5x

x = \dfrac{13500}{5}

x = 2700

Now, the amount of rye seed = 2700 pounds

while that of Bermuda seed = 4500 - 2700 = 1800 pounds

However, For Bluegrass, we are told that the cost of 1 pound is 12 cents.

So, the cost of 1500 bluegrass seeds = 12 × 1500 = 18000 cents

For rye seed; cost of 1 pound = 14 cents

the cost of 2700 rye seeds = 14 × 2700 = 37800 cents

For Bermuda seed; cost of 1 pound = 3 cents

the cost of 1800 rye seeds = 3 × 1800 = 5400 cents

The total amount = (18000 + 37800 + 5400) = 61200 cents

Recall that:

100 cents = 1 dollars

61200 cents = x dollars

x = 61200 cents/100 cents

x = 612 dollars

Thus, the minimum cost is 612 dollars.

If one factor of x2 + 2x - 24 is (x+6), what is the other factor?
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

( x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 2x - 24

From here, you must find the two factors of -24 (the first and third terms' coefficients multiplied together) that add up to 2 (the middle terms coefficient)

( x - 4) ( x + 6)

If the APY of a savings account is 2.4% and if the principal in the savings account is $2200 for an entire year, what will be th
Aleks [24]

To solve this problem, we must recall that the formula for money with compound interest is calculated as:

Total = Principal × ( 1 + Rate ) ^ n

Total = $2,200 × ( 1 + 0.024 ) ^ 1

Total = $2,252.80

<span>Therefore the answer is letter B.</span>

What is the rule for finding the coordinates of an image reflected over the line y=-x
joja [24]
You can find the coordinates of any graph by using a coordinate table, which looks as so in the chart provided below.

What you do is you, put in the letter x and then put what y is equal to in the second box. You plug in any number for x and you solve in order to find the y coordinate. Once you do, for example for plugging in -1 into x you get 1. So your coordinate would be (-1,1).
