If Lydia buys 1/2 pound of the Breakfast Tea and 2 pounds of the Dark Roast coffee, how many 1- pound bags of Pumpkin Spice coffee can she buy?

The question is incomplete! Complete question along with answer and step by step explanation is provided below.

Question:

Lydia is at a coffee shop and knows  she can spend no more than $65

before tax. She sees this price list in  the coffee shop.

Dark Roast Coffee    $7.50

Pumpkin Spice Coffee   $10.50

Breakfast Tea   $23.50

if Lydia buys 1/2 pound of the Breakfast Tea and 2 pounds of the Dark Roast coffee, how many 1- pound bags of Pumpkin Spice coffee can she buy?

Given Information:

Shopping Budge = $65

Price of   Dark Roast Coffee = $7.50

Price of Pumpkin Spice Coffee  = $10.50

Price of  Breakfast Tea  = $23.50

Amount of Breakfast Tea required = 1/2 pound

Amount of Dark Roast coffee required = 2 pounds

Required Information:

How many 1-pound  Pumpkin Spice Coffee can she buy = ?

n = 3 bags of 1-pound Pumpkin Spice Coffee

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the amount of Breakfast Tea required is 1/2 pound so the cost of Breakfast Tea is

Cost of Breakfast Tea = 1/2*23.50 = $11.75

We are also given that the amount of Dark Roast coffee required is 2 pounds so the cost of Dark Roast coffee is

Cost of Dark Roast coffee = 2*7.50

Cost of Dark Roast coffee = $15

We know that total Lydia's total budget is $65

11.75 + 15 + 10.50x = 65

Where x represents the amount of Pumpkin Spice coffee required

10.50x = 65 - 11.75 - 15

10.50x = 38.75

x = 3.64 pounds

That means Lydia can buy 3.64 pounds of Pumpkin Spice coffee.

Now assuming that the Pumpkin Spice coffee is sold only in 1-pound bags then the required number of bags that Lydia can buy is

n = 3.64 pound/1-pound

n = 3.64

Since bags cannot be in fraction so

n = 3 bags

Note: we can not round off to 4 bags since that would surpass the given budged.

let's cover over the formula of the vertex:

y = a(x – h)^2 + k

in this formula, (h,k) are the vertex, always remember that the positive or negative value of the vertex is based on the sign it has.

for example, if the vertex is -3,-6 then both the x and y value would have the positive sign attached to it and if it were a positive x and y value, then a negative sign would be attached to it.

with that being said, for our problem the x value is a positive one so we are looking for a number with a negative sign next to it, in this case the first and second choice.

however, for the first answer choice it isn't quite part of the formula so we know that the answer choice correctly displays the x value.

to confirm, we can see if the -1 fits correctly with the second answer choice, and as mentioned above a negative number will have a positive sign attached to it. so, for our problem we can see that -1 has been changed to +1, so we can confirm that the second answer choice is correct.

hence, our final answer is y=(x - 1)^2 + 1
