A coffee mixture has beans that sell for $0.72 a pound and beans that sell for $0.52. If 110 pounds of beans create a mixture worth $0.74 a pound, how much of each bean is used? Model the scenario then solve it. Then, in two or more sentences explain whether your solution is or is not reasonable.

Question

Suppose Johnny invests $41,745 into an account, which has been earning interest for many years and he now has a total of $39,974. In two or more sentences explain why a negative number would/wouldn’t be reasonable in the solution of the rate of the investment.

Answer 1

I got question ones to answer

​The price of each type of beans is such that it is impossible to create a mixture of which price is higher than the highest ingredient price. In this case, we have one type of bean that costs $0.72 and one that costs $0.52 per pound. Even if the mixture is made purely out of the first type of beans it wouldn't cost $0.74 per pound. In general, you solve this problem using this system of equations: x + y = 110 x*0.72 + y*0.52 = 0.74 * 100
