\n" );
document.write( "Hi, 
\n" );
document.write( "Let x represent the kilograms of the brazillian coffee
\n" );
document.write( "Then (216kg - x) would represent the kilograms of the venezuelan coffee
\n" );
document.write( "question states***
\n" );
document.write( "$12/kg*x + $16/kg(216kg-x)= $15/kg*216kg
\n" );
document.write( "$1/kg/kg*216kg = $4x
\n" );
document.write( "54kg = x, the amount of the brazillian coffee
\n" );
document.write( "162kg the amount of the venezuelan coffee  (216kg-54kg)\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "checking our answer
\n" );
document.write( "12*54 + 16*162 = 648 + 2592 = 15*216 =  3240 \n" );
document.write( "
