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>
Answer:
70
Step-by-step explanation:
65 and 45 make up 110, and triangles are composed up 180°. The missing angle thatll make it add up to 180 is 70

Answer:
Lillian worked 7h and Jacob worked 6h
Step-by-step explanation:
the number of hours Lillian worked are x (h)
the number of hours Jacob worked are y (h)
(0 < x,y < 13)
=> Lilian ironed: 25x (shirts)
Jacob ỉroned: 20y (shirts)
because Lillian and Jacob worked a combined 13 hours and ironed 295 shirts, we have:
so Lillian worked 7h and Jacob worked 6h
1000 ml costs £3.50
200 is 1/5 of 1000 so it will be £0.7
