x kg of Maxwell House coffee contains 0.13x kg of Columbian beans.

y kg of Folgers contains 0.21y kg of beans.

You want a mixture weighing 70 kg, so

x + y = 70

You also want this blend to consist of 19% Columbian beans, or 0.19 (70 kg) = 13.3 kg, so

0.13x + 0.21y = 13.3

Solve for x and y :

x + y = 70 ===> y = 70 - x

0.13x + 0.21y = 13.3 ===> 0.13x + 0.21 (70 - x) = 13.3

0.13x + 14.7 - 0.21x = 13.3

14.7 - 13.3 = 0.21x - 0.13x

1.4 = 0.08x

x = 17.5

y = 52.5

a tour bus cost $75 plus $6 for each passenger. write and evaluate an expression to find the total cost for 25 passengers. then.

miskamm [114]

To make an expression for any amount of passengers, you need to use x for each passenger. Fill in x with the amount of passengers. Your equation is:
75 + 6x. Now using this expression, we can find the answer to all of the amounts of passengers.

75 + 6(25) = 225; 75 + 6(26) = 231; and so on. Hope that I helped! Good luck!

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

32.40

Step-by-step explanation:

The shirts were 40% of the regular price

The sale price of 1 shirt was

18*40% = sale price

18*.40 =7.20

He bought 3 shirts, so multiply by 3

3 * 7.2 =21.60

He paid 21.60

The price he would have paid without the discount is

18*3 = 54

The savings is

54- 21.60 =32.40

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

r=7

Step-by-step explanation:

74000=28000(1+r/12)^12(14)

divide 74000 by 28000, and cancel out 28000.

1.00580=1+r/12

(100) .06962=r

r = 6.96198

the 6 after the 9 rounds 9 to 0, which rounds the 6 to 7

Determine whether or not the vector field is conservative. if it is conservative, find a function f such that f = ∇f. (if the ve

sweet [91]

A conservative vector field $\mathbf f$ has curl $\nabla\times\mathbf f=\mathbf0$ . In this case,

$\nabla\times\mathbf f=12xy^2z(1-z)\,\mathbf j+4yz^2(2z-3x)\,\mathbf k\neq\mathbf 0$

so the vector field is not conservative.
