How many pounds of hamburger that costs 1.60 per pound must be mixed with 70 pounds of hamburger that costs 2.10 per pound to make a mixture that costs 1.70 per pound?
Here is the set up:
[first mixture] + [second mixture] = [total mixture]
[x(1.60)] + [2.10(70)] = [1.70(x + 70)]
We are looking for x.
x1.60 + 147 = 1.70x + 119
x1.60 - 1.70x = -147 + 119
-0.1x = -28
x = -28/-0.1
x = 280
How many pounds of hamburger that costs 1.60 per pound must be mixed?
The answer is 280 pounds.
