Answer:
35 pounds of $8.00 tea and 15 pounds of $6.00 tea
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the pounds of tea of the $8 kind. 8x would represent the total cost of that type of tea. We can also say 50 - x is the pounds of tea of the $6 kind, so 6(50 - x) is the total cost of that type of tea. 50 * 7.4 represents the total cost of all the tea, and the expression 8x + 6(50 -x) would also represent the same thing. We can write this as an equation,
8x + 6(50 -x) = 50 * 7.4
simplify,
8x + 300 - 6x = 370
2x + 300 = 370
and solve.
2x = 70
x = 35
This means there is 35 pounds of the $8 kind.
We can subtract that from 50 to find,
50 - 35 = 15,
15 pounds is the amount of the $6 kind.
The moral of the story is to not give up. The bird ,after discovering he couldn’t get the water after trying his hardest, still pushed through to pick up the stones to tip the pitcher to get the water.
