Answer:
y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
If 3 is x than you can substitute x for 3. y = 3 + 1. Then when you add y = 4
<span>75 lbs of Earl Grey
225 lbs of Orange Pekoe
Some definitions.
E = number of pounds of Earl Grey
(300-E) = number of pounds of Orange Pekoe
Expression for selling price of new blend
P=300*4.5
"there is to be no difference in revenue from selling the new blend versus selling the other types." so
P = 6E + 4(300-E)
Set them equal to each other, then solve for E
300*4.5 = 6E + 4(300-E)
1350 = 6E + 1200 - 4E
150 = 6E - 4E
150 = 2E
75 = E
So 75 lbs of Earl Grey was used and 300-75 = 225 lbs of Orange Pekoe</span>
I would say B in all honesty. Others probably would want A
