The number of pounds of one-dollar-a-pound
coffee needed to mix with 80 pounds of 70¢ a
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

1. Find the area of a triangle (PLEASE ONLY in CM²) 2. Seven squared equals seven times .........

Answers

Answer:

30 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a triangle is calculated as

A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] bh ( b is the base and h the height )

Here b = 6 and h = 10 , thus

A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 6 × 10 = 3 × 10 = 30 cm²

and 7² = 7 × 7 = 49

Answer:

1)        30 cm²

2) Seven squared equals seven times 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Base = 6 cm

Height = 10 cm

Area of triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]*base * height

                          = [tex]\frac{1}{2} * 6 * 10[/tex]

                         = 3 * 10

                          = 30 cm²

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a parallelogram is

A = bh

A = ( 12) * h

We can find the height  from using trig functions

tan 45 = h /6.5

6.5 tan 45 = h

A = ( 12) * 6.5 tan 45

Chuck goes to a community college there is an enrollment fee of 207.55 plus 223.07 per credit hour which eqaution shows C the total cost of attending the community college for x credit hour

Answers

Answer:

C = 207.55 + 223.07x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Cost of community college:

Enrollment fee = 207.55

Fee per credit hour = 223.07

Attending the community College for 'x' credit hours can be represented by:

Total cost = C

[Enrollment fee + (fee per credit hour * number of credit hours)]

Number of credit hours = x

C = [207.55 + (223.07 * x)]

C = 207.55 + 223.07x

Therefore, the total cost 'C' of attending the community college for 'x' credit hour:

C = 207.55 + 223.07x

Question (1)

Umar drove his taxi in two parts;

1). Ipoh to Tapah

2). Tapah to Kuala Lumpur

Since, the formula to calculate the average speed = [tex]\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}[/tex]

Total distance from Ipoh to Tapah = 60 km

Average speed to cover this distance = 100 km per h

Time taken to cover this distance = [tex]\frac{\text{Distance covered}}{\text{Speed}}[/tex]

                                                            = [tex]\frac{60}{100}[/tex]

                                                            = 0.6 hours

Total distance from Ipoh to Kuala Lumpur = 220 km per h

Average speed from Ipoh to Kuala Lumpur = 110 km per h

Time taken to cover the distance = [tex]\frac{220}{110}[/tex] = 2 hours

Distance from Tapah to Kuala lumpur = 220 - 60

                                                               = 160 km

Time taken to travel from Tapah to Kuala Lumpur = 2 - 0.6

                                                                                   = 1.4 hours

Average speed from Tapah to Kuala Lumpur = [tex]\frac{160}{1.4}[/tex]

                                                                           = 114. 29 km per hour

Question (2).

Speed achieved by the leopard = 25.9 meter per sec.

Since, 25.9 meter = [tex]\frac{25.9}{1000}[/tex] km

                              = 0.0259 km

1 second = [tex]\frac{1}{3600}[/tex] hour

Therefore 25.9 meter per second = [tex]\frac{0.0259}{\frac{1}{3600} }[/tex]

                                                        = 0.0259 × 3600

                                                        = 93.24 km per hour

The lengths of the three sides of a triangle are 7, x+4 and 2x+1. The perimeter of the triangle is 36. What is the length of the longest side of the triangle?

Answers

Answer:

Length of the longest side = 17 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Three sides of triangle

A = 7

B = x+4

C = 2x + 1

Perimeter of the triangle = 36

Find:

Length of the longest side

Computation:

We know that

Perimeter of the triangle = A + B + C

Perimeter of the triangle = 7 + x + 4 + 2x + 1

36 = 12 + 3x

24 = 3x

x = 8

So

Side B = 8 + 4 = 12 unit

Side C = 2(8) + 1 = 17 units

Length of the longest side = 17 units
