X - Columbian coffee ( in pounds),
y - Brazilian coffee ( in pounds );
x + y = 100
8.85 x + 3.85 y = 6.55 ( x + y )
----------------------------------------
x = 100 - y
8.85 ( 100 - y ) + 3.85 y = 6.55 * 100
855 - 8.55 y + 3.85 y = 655
- 5 y = - 230
y = ( - 230 ) : ( - 5 )
y = 46
x = 100 - 46
x = 54
Answer: 54 pounds of Columbian coffee and 46 pounds of Brazilian coffee should be used.
Answer:
x is 0
Step-by-step explanation:
subtract the number 3 5 and 8 then combine like terms and 8 on both sides of the equation then simplify after that divide both sides of the equation by the same term then simplify
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok, so based on a survey - you know that out of 30 students, 11 said that their favourite subject is mathematics. :-)
This means that:
11/30 of these students think mathematics if their favourite subject.
Now, in order to answer your question, we are going to have to change the denominator of the fraction above to 1000. Whatever we do to the denominator of this fraction, we must do to the numerator of this fraction.
Example:
This means that rounded to the nearest ten, theoretically speaking, 370 students out of 1000 would say that mathematics is their favourite subject.
