The manager at a store selling tea plans to mix a more expensive tea that costs $5 dollars per pound with a less expensive tea that costs $3 a pound to create a 100 pound blend that will sell for $4.50 per pound. How many pounds of each type of tea are required?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "$5 tea ------------------ $3 tea--------------- mix
\n" ); document.write( "x-------------------------(100-x)---------------100 quantities\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5x+3*(100-x)= 100*4.5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5x+300-3x=450\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2x= 150
\n" ); document.write( "x=75 pounds $5 tea
\n" ); document.write( "$3 tea = 25 pounds\r
