Astore mixes red fescue worth $12 per pound and chewings fescue worth $16 per pound. the mixture is to sell for $15 per pound. find out how much of each should be used to make a 552- pound mixture.

Answer is: 414 pounds of red fescue and 138 pounds of chewings fescue is needed to produce 552 pounds of mixture.

Explanation:
x - how much of red fescue is needed for one pound of mixture
y - how much of chewings fescue is needed for one pound of mixturex*12+ y*16 = 15x + y = 1
so, x=1-y
putting it into first line:(1-y)*12 + y*16 = 15
12 - 12*y + 16*y = 15
4*y = 3
y=3/4
so, x= 1-3/4; x=1/4So to produce 552 pounds of mixture we need..To produce 1 pound of mixture we need: 3/4 pound of red fescue and 1/4 pound of chewing fescue so to produce 552 pounds of miture we need:
552*3/4 - red fescue, which is 414 pounds needed
and
552/4 - chewings fescue, which is 138 pounds needed

1 1/7 hope i

step-by-step explanation:

8/7 = (1 * 7 + 1) / 7 = 1 + 1/7 = 1 1/7

soo this can be solve by using the formula:

f = p( 1 + i)^ n

where f is the future profit

p is the initial profit

i is the percent increase

n is the number of years

a . f = 30000 ( 1.05)^n

b. f = 30000 ( 1.05)^15

f = $62,368
