Here are the ingredients for making fish pie for 6 people.

1 answer:

6 0

Clare would need 80 of fish, (1/3 of 240 is 80.)
Ian would need 200g of butter (If you find the amount of each ingredient needed for a one person-pie, and multiply them by the amount of people you need to feed, you will get your answer.)
We know that 80g of butter is used for 6 people, so by dividing 80 by 6, we know that for a one person-pie, you would need 13.33g of butter. Multiply 13.33 by 15 to find out how many grams of butter he would need for a pie for 15 people.

Answer:

The store should use 112.5 pounds of Brazilian coffee and 37.5 pounds of Colombian cofee.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "b" be the amount of Brazilian coffee, in pounds, required for the blend and "c" the amount of Colombian coffee required, in pounds.

Since there are two unknown variables a two-equation system is needed to solve the problem, we can set up one equation for weight and another for price as follows:

$b+c=150\\10*b+14*c=11*150$
