The number of pounds of one-dollar-a-pound

pound coffee to make a mixture worth 84¢ a
pound is
(A) 70
(B) 80
(C) 95
(D) 65

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say we need x pounds of one-dollar-a-pound coffee . The coffee must average out to 84 cents a pound, and the formula for average is

sum of cost of coffee / number of pounds of coffee, so we have

0.84 = total cost of coffee / (x+80) . The total cost of coffee can be found to be the sum of the cost of $1 coffee and 70 cent coffee, so we have

0.84 = (cost of $1 coffee + cost of 70 cent coffee) / (x+80)

The cost of $1 coffee can be found by adding $1 for each pound of one dollar coffee, or $1 * x. Similarly, the cost of 70 cent coffee is equal to 0.70 * 80, so we have

0.84 = (1*x+0.7*80)/(x+80)

0.84 = (x+56)/(x+80)

multiply both sides by (x+80) to remove a denominator

0.84(x+80) = x+56

0.84x + 67.2 = x+56

subtract both sides by 56 and 0.84x to isolate the x and its coefficients

11.2 = 0.16 x

divide both sides by 0.16 to isolate x

11.2/0.16 = x = 70

Answer 2

The number of pounds of a constituent in a mixture given the cost of the

mixture and the cost and mass of the other constituent can be calculated

by using an equation to model the system

The correct option for the number of pounds of one-dollar- pound coffee needed is option A

(A) 70 pounds

The procedure for arriving at the correct option is as follows:

The given parameters are;

The cost of the the coffee for which the mass in the mixture is to be determined = One-Dollar a pound = 100 ¢ a pound

The mass of the coffee 70¢ a pound coffee to be mixed = 80 pounds

The cost per pound of the mixture = 84 ¢ a pound

The required parameter;

The number of pounds of the one-dollar-a-pound (100 ¢ a pound) coffee in the mixture

Method:

Let x (pound) represent the number of pounds of the one-dollar-a-pound coffee in the mixture, we have;

Mass of mixture = Mass of the one-dollar-a-pound in the mixture, x + Mass of 70 ¢ a pound in the mixture, 80

∴ Mass of mixture in pounds = x + 80

Cost = Cost per pound × Number of pound

Find solution by applying the equation;

Cost of the constituents = Cost of the mixture

Where;

Cost of the constituents = $1 × x + 70 ¢ × 80 = 100 ¢ × x  + 70 ¢ × 80

Cost of the mixture = 84 ¢ × (x + 80)

Therefore;

100 ¢ × x  + 70 ¢ × 80 = 84 ¢ × (x + 80)

The above can be expressed as 100·x + 70×80 = 84 × (x + 80)

Expanding, evaluating and collecting like terms gives;

100·x + 5,600 = 84·x + 6,720

100·x - 84·x = 6,720 - 5,600 = 1,120

16·x = 1,120

x = 1,120/16 = 70

The number of pounds of one-dollar- pound coffee needed, x = 70 pounds

What is the equation of the graph?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y=2x^2+1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation for a parabola in vertex form is the following:

[tex]y=a(x-h)^2+k[/tex]

Where ([tex]h,k[/tex]) is the parabola's vertex and (a) is the stretch and compression factor. As one can see in the given graph, the parabola has a vertex at (0, 1), moreover, it passes through the point (1, 3). Substitute these points into the equation for the parabole, and simplify,

[tex]y=a(x-h)^2+k[/tex]

Vertex: (0, 1)

[tex]y=a(x-0)^2+1[/tex]

A point on the parabola: (1, 3)

[tex]3=a(1-0)^2+1[/tex]

[tex]3=a1+1\\3 = a + 1\\[/tex]

Inverse operations,

[tex]3=a+1[/tex]

[tex]2 = a[/tex]

Substitute back into the original expression:

[tex]y=a(x-h)^2+k[/tex]

[tex]y=2(x-0)^2+1[/tex]

Simplify to put in standard form:

[tex]y=2(x-0)^2+1[/tex]

D. None of the above​

Answers

Given:

The graph of a scatter plot.

To find:

The function that best fits the given points.

Solution:

From the given graph it is clear that the linear function is the best fit for the given points because the points lie on a straight line or near to it.

So, options B and C are incorrect because they represent exponential and quadratic function respectively.

Let as assume the two points on the graph are (0.80,-12.82) and (2,-12.79).

Using this two points, the equation of line is:

[tex]y-(-12.82)=\dfrac{-12.79-(-12.82)}{2-0.80}(x-0.80)[/tex]

[tex]y+12.82=\dfrac{-12.79+12.82}{2-0.80}(x-0.80)[/tex]

[tex]y+12.82=0.025(x-0.80)[/tex]

[tex]y+12.82=0.025x-0.02[/tex]

[tex]y=0.025x-0.02-12.82[/tex]

[tex]y=0.025x-12.84[/tex]

[tex]y=-12.84+0.025x[/tex]

It is the approximate function to the function that is in option A.

Therefore, the correct option is A.

Answer: x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

6(2x-11)+15=3x+12

1) Distribute 6 (distributive-property)

12x - 66 + 15 = 3x + 12

12x - 51 = 3x + 12

Subtract 12 from both sides; what ever you do to one side, you need to do to ther other.

12x - 63 = 3x

Subtract 3x from both sides.

9x - 63 = 0

Add 63 to both sides.

9x = 63

=========================================================

Explanation:

So far in your studies, every number is a real number. This is assuming your teacher hasn't introduced complex or imaginary numbers yet.

So that's why -12 is a real number.

Choice A is one of the answers

---------------

The set of whole numbers is {0,1,2,3,4,...} so we aren't including negative values here, which rules out choice B. However, the set of integers does include negative values

{..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...}

That makes -12 an integer

Choice C is one of the answers

----------------

The value -12 is not irrational because we can write it as a fraction of two integers. Eg: -12 = -12/1

This shows that -12 is rational and why choice F is one of the answers and allows us to rule out choice D.

------------------

We can rule out choice E because the set of natural numbers is {1,2,3,4,...} basically the set of whole numbers but we kicked out 0.

The requried, -12  is an element of sets of real numbers, integers, and rational numbers. Options A, C, and F are correct.

What is a number system?

What is set?

Sets are an orderly collection of items in mathematics that can be expressed in set-builder or roster form.

The Lewis family and the Martin family each used their sprinklers last summer. The water output rate for the Lewis family's sprinkler was 30L per hour. The water output rate for the Martin family's sprinkler was 15L per hour. The families used their sprinklers for a combined total of 55 hours, resulting in a total water output of 1350L. How long was each sprinkler used

Answers

Answer:

Martin family: 20 hours

Lewis family: 35 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the Lewis family sprinklers were out for L hours and the Martin family's sprinklers were out for M hours. We know that for each hour that the Lewis family sprinkler was on, 30L of water was put out. We can thus write the Lewis family sprinkler water output as 30L per each hour of L = 30 * L. Similarly, the Martin family sprinkler water output = 15 * M .

We know that the total hours for the sprinklers is 55, so L + M = 55. The total water output for the sprinklers is the sum of the sprinkler outputs, so 30 * L + 15 * M = 1350

L + M = 55

30 * L + 15 * M = 1350

One way to solve this would be to solve for L in the first equation and substitute that into the second

subtract M from both sides in the second equation

55 - M = L

30 * (55-M) + 15 * M = 1350

30 * 55 - 30 * M + 15 * M = 1350

1650 - 15M = 1350

subtract 1650 from both sides to isolate the M and its coefficient

-15M = -300

divide both sides by -15 to isolate M

M = 20

L = 55-20 = 35
