a baker mixes cookies worth $.95 per pound with cookies worth $1.75 per pound.how many of each kind must be used to produce a 45 pound mixture that sells for $1.25 per pound\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let x be the number of pounds of .95/lb cookies.
\n" ); document.write( "Then 45-x is the number of pounds of 1.75/lb cookies.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "45*(1.25) = .95*x + 1.25*(45-x)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Solve for x and then substitute for x to calculate 45-x.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
