Blending Coffee Beans Three varieties of coffee-Arabian Mocha Sanani, Organic Shade Grown Mexico, and Guatemala Antigua-are combined and roasted, yielding a \(50\) -lb batch of coffee beans. Twice as many pounds of Guatemala Antigua, which retails for \(\$ 10.19\) per lb, are needed as of Arabian Mocha Sanani, which retails for \(\$ 15.99\) per lb. Organic Shade Grown Mexico retails for \(\$ 12.99\) per lb. How many pounds, to the nearest hundredth, of each coffee should be used in a blend that sells for \(\$ 12.37\) per lb?
Question
Answer
\(\left. \begin{array} { l } { 11.92 lb \text { of Arabian Mocha } } \\ { \text { Sanani; } 14.23 lb \text { of Organic Shade Grown Mexico; } 23.85 lb } \\ { \text { of Guatemala Antigua } } \end{array} \right.\)

Q:
Chris is going to rent a truck for one day. There are two companies he can choose from, and they have the following prices.
Company A charges an initial fee of \( \$ 97.50 \) and an additional \( 10 \) cents for every mile driven. Company B charges an initial fee of \( \$ 55 \) and an additional \( 60 \) cents for every mile driven.
For what mileages will Company A charge no more than Company B?
Write your answer as an inequality, using \( m \) for the number of miles driven.

Q:
Billy rides his bicycle on a straight race track. When he starts sprinting he increases \(2 m / s\) for every second, \(s\) , he continues to drive over \(9\) seconds in the race. At \(9\) seconds he is traveling \(10 m / s\) . He Writes the following functions to represent his speed after s seconds but he must combine them somehow:
\(a ( x ) = s - 9\)
\(s ( x ) = 2 s + 10\)
Write a composite function to represent his speed \(s\) seconds in the race \(( 3 pts ) \) .
Find out how fast he is going after \(14\) seconds ( \(3\) pts).
