A producer of packaged frozen meat wants to market mixed meat at P115.00 per kilogram.
How many kilograms of pork meat worth P120.00 per kilogram must be mixed with 20
kilograms of chicken meat worth P100.00 per kilogram and 5 kilograms of beef meat
worth P160.00 per kilogram to produce a satisfactory mixture?
:
Let p = amt of pork required
:
120p + 100(20) + 160(5) = 115(p+20+5)
:
120p + 2000 + 800 = 115(p+25)
:
120p + 2800 = 115p + 2875

120p - 115p = 2875 - 2800

1800 + 2000 + 800 = 115(40)
4600 = 4600
