On Sunday a coffee shop sold 115 lb of coffee. The amount of regular coffee sold was 5 lb more than the amount of decaffeinated coffee sold. There were twice as many pounds of flavored coffee sold than there was regular coffee sold.
\n" ); document.write( "a. Write an equation to solve for the amount of regular coffee sold.
\n" ); document.write( "r + d + f = 115
\n" ); document.write( "r = d + 5
\n" ); document.write( "f = 2r
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute to solve for r:
\n" ); document.write( "r + (r-5) + 2r = 115
\n" ); document.write( "4r = 120
\n" ); document.write( "r = 30 lbs (amount of regular coffee)
