Brazil exports the most coffee in the world. it cost approximately $2.55 to produce a pound of coffee; they want to make a profit of 300% for each pound. also, the u. s. charges a 20% tariff for each pound that is imported. how much would a pound of coffee cost in the u. s? show all work.

A Pound of coffee cost in US will be $10.71

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Brazil exports the most coffee in the world. It cost approximately $2.55 to produce a pound of coffee. Also, the U.S. charges a 20% Tariff for each pound that is imported.

we have to find cost of a pound of coffee in US in order to earn a profit of 300% for each pound.

Hence, cost for each pound in US is calculates as

= (Cost + Profit + Charge) per pound

= Cost to produce + 300% of (Cost to produce) + 20% of (Cost to produce)

= $2.55 + 3(2.55) + 0.2(2.55)

= $10.71

because linear equations are a lot simpler than quadratics equations, and linear equations formula is a lot easier to memorize. that's why i think they're harder.

sorry

sorry, but im pretty sure its a now that i look at it
