Tim and Judy mix two kinds of feed for pedigreed dogs. They wish to make 54 pounds of feed worth $.28 per pound by mixing one kind worth $.24 per pound with another worth $.42 per pound. How many pounds of the cheaper kind should they use in the mix?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "[first mixture] + [second mixture] = [total mixture]\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let x = pounds for cheaper kind of feed\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "[x0.24] + [x0.42] = [(0.28)(2x + 54)]\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We now solve for x.\r
