x+y=70; 8.50x+12.50y=10.56(70)36 pounds Antigua34 pounds RiftStep-by-step explanation:
At the insistence of the problem author, we will let x represent pounds of Antigua coffee and y represent pounds of Rift coffee. Then we have ...
x + y = 70
8.50x +12.50y = 10.56(70) . . . . . total cost of the mix
__
We like to use the variable to represent the high-cost contributor. Here, that is y, so we'll substitute for x:
x = 70-y
8.50(70 -y) +12.50y = 10.56(70)
__
595 +4y = 739.2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
4y = 144.2 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 595
y = 36.05 . . . . . . . divide by 4
x = 70 -36.05 = 33.95
About 36 pounds of Rift Valley coffee and 34 pounds of Gualtemala Antigua coffee must be mixed.
Additional comment
By letting the variable in our equation 8.50(70 -y) +12.50y = 10.56(70) represent the high-cost coffee, we ensure that the simplified equation will have a positive coefficient for the variable. This means we don't have to mess with negative numbers, so eliminating a common source of math errors.
The problem requirement that we use x for the low-cost contributor meant we introduced an extra equation that would not have been needed.

The percentage change is -66.7%
Step-by-step explanation:
75 people to 25 people is a percentage decrease
Mathematically, this is same as;
(25-75)/75 * 100% = -50/75 * 100 = -66.67%
To the nearest tenth of a percent, the percentage change is -66.7%
