Answer:
Type A coffee in lbs = 97 lbs
Step-by-step explanation:
Type a = 4.55/lbs = x
type b = 5.70/lbs = y
Total in lbs = 147lbs
total in sales = 726.50
First,
x + y = 147 lbs -------------------equ 1
4.55x + 5.70y = lbs ------------ equ 2
<em>Multiply equ 1 by 4.55</em>
4.55x + 4.55y = 668.85 -------------equ 3
4.55x + 5.70y = 726.50 ------------equ 4
<em>Subtracting equ 3 from equ 4</em>
1.15y = 57.65
y = 50
<em>Substituting y = 50 into equ 1</em>
x + 50 = 147
x = 97
Addition is the first step in solving the equation. Here is how to solve this problem:
x/3 - 3 = 11
+ 3 + 3
------------------------
x
(3) -------- = 14(3)

x = 42
He can fill 6 boxes. 48 / 7 = 6R6.
I interpreted the remainder by removing the remainder to get the answer.
