A grocer has 2 kinds of tea, one that sells for $8.00 per pound and the other that sells for $6.00 per pound. How many pounds of each kind must he use to make 50 pounds of tea that will sell for $7.40 per pound? Answer in pounds of $8.00 tea and pounds of $6.00 tea

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.

amount of $8 tea = 35 lb

amount of $6 tea = 15 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = amount of $8 tea

Then 50 - x =  amount of $6 tea

Total cost of $8 tea is = 8x

Total cost of $6 tea = 6(50 - x)

Total cost of $7.40 tea = 7.4(50)

Total cost of $8 tea + Total cost of $6 tea = Total cost of $7.40 tea

8x + 6(50 - x) = 7.4(50)

8x + 300 - 6x = 370

2x = 70

x = 35

50 - x = 15

the population of other specie of birds will decline or other specie of birds will find some alternate source of food to survive.

explanation:

according to the competitive exclusion principle, which is also known as gause's law, two specie living in the same niche and feeding on the same resource cannot co-exist stably.

as we have well studied the theory of natural selection which states that only those organisms survive which have better tendency to compete for food and adapt to the environmental conditions.

coming towards the question, what wi ll happen when one species outcompetes the other for the small fish , the other specie will not get enough food and will start to die or decline in population. eventually either other specie needs to find another alternative food source for itself or migrate at some other location where there is less competition otherwise it will just not exist anymore at that niche.

hope it !
