Answer: Sylvia should use 35 pounds of Kona coffee and 65 pounds of Columbian coffee

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of Kona coffee that Sylvia should use.

Let y represent the number of pounds of Columbian coffee that Sylvia should use.

Sylvia wants to mix 100 pounds of Breakfast Blend coffee. This means that

x + y = 100

She is using two types of coffee to create the mixture. Kona coffee sells for $51 per pound and Columbian coffee sells for $11 per pound and the mixture would sell for $25 per pound.

This means that

51x + 11y = 2500 - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 100 - y into equation 1, it becomes

51(100 - y) + 11y = 2500

5100 - 51y + 11y = 2500

- 51y + 11y = 2500 - 5100

- 40y = - 2600

y = - 2600/-40

y = 65

x = 100 - y

x = 100 - 65 = 35

(8.218+9.93)+(17.782+0.07)
Licemer1 [7]
First, using the order of operations(PEMDAS), you would solve what is inside the parenthesis. 
<span>(8.218 + 9.93) + (17.782 + 0.07)
(</span>18.148) + (17.852)
18.148 + 17.852

Now, all you would have to do is add the two sums. 
18.148 + 17.852 = <span>36
</span>
The answer would be 36. 

I hope this helps!

Given that Ray E B bisects ∠CEA, which statements must be true? Select three options. m∠CEA = 90° m∠CEF = m∠CEA + m∠BEF m∠CEB =
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

mCEA = 90ᴼ because CEA is a right angle, and right angles have 90ᴼ measures.

CEF is a straight angle because there are two 90ᴼ angles (CEA and AEF) and therefore there is 180ᴼ in total. A straight line has a measure of 180ᴼ.

AEF is a right angle because if CEA is a right angle and CEF is a straight line, then AEF has to be a right angle.

Harper has $15.00 to spend at her grocery store. She is going to buy bags of fruit that cost $4.75 each and one box of crackers
Andrej [43]
First write the inequality:    15\leq4.75x +3.50

Then to solve, first subtract 3.50 from both sides to get:

11.50\leq4.75x

Then divide by 4.75 to get 2.42, and since you can't buy .42 of a bag  of fruit, you round down. So your final answer would be 2 bags of fruit.
