A butcher combines 100 lb of hamburger that costs $2.10 per pound with 70 lb of hamburger that costs $4.65 per pound.
Find the cost of the hamburger mixture.
:
let x = the cost of the mixture
:
The resulting mixture will be the sum of two ingredients; 170 lb
:
2.10(100) + 4.65(70) = 170x
210 + 325.5 = 170x
535.5 = 170x
x - 535.5/170
x = $3.15 cost of the resulting mixture
