Answer:

Ground Chicory = 7 pounds and Jamaican Blue Mountain = 5 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Joseph would like to make 12 pounds of a coffee blend at a cost of $6.25 per pound.

Total cost of 12 pounds of coffee blend = 6.25 × 12 = $75

Ground Chicory = $4.40 per pound

Jamaican Blue Mountain = $8.84 per pound

Total weight of coffee blend = 12 pounds

Total amount of coffee blend = $75

Let the weight of Chicory be 'x'

The weight of Blue mountain be (12 - x)

75 = 4.40x + 8.84(12-x)

75 = 4.40x + 106.08 + - 8.84x

75 = (4.40x +-8.84x) + 106.08

75 = - 4.44x + 106.08

-4.44x = 75 - 106.08

-4.44x = -31.08

x = 7 pounds

and (12 - x) = 12 - 7 = 5 pounds

Therefore, Ground Chicory would be used 7 pounds and Jamaican Blue Mountain would be used 5 pounds.

Answer:

the answer would be 90

Step-by-step explanation:

100 giants fills 5/8 (100/160) of the theater leaving 3/8 of the theater for the elves.

3/8 times 240 elves is 90 elves.

If there were 150 elves that would also be 5/8 filled plus the original 5/8 filled with 100 giants! Some elves might suffer!!!

The yearly cost in dollars, y, for a member at a video game arcade based on total game tokens purchased, x, is y =y equals Start
const2013 [10]

Answer:

y = \frac{1}{5}x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Yearly Cost for members; y = \frac{1}{10}x + 6

Required

Determine the yearly cost for non members

From the question, we understand that:

<em>A non member pays $0.20 for each game;</em>

Yearly cost is then calculated as thus;

y = Amount * Number of Games

Where:

Amount = $0.2 and Number of Games = x

y = 0.20 * x

Convert 0.2 to fraction

y = \frac{2}{10} * x

Divide the numerator and the denominator by 2

y = \frac{1}{5} * x

y = \frac{1}{5}x

<em>Hence, the yearly cost for non members is </em>

y = \frac{1}{5}x
