A store mixes Brazilian coffee worth $10 per kilogram and Venezulen coffee worth $12 per kilogram. The mixture is to sell for $11 per kilogram. Find out how much of each should be used to make a 132-kilogram mixture?
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equations:
\n" ); document.write( "Quantity Eq: b + v = 132 kg
\n" ); document.write( "Value Eq.:: 10b+12v = 11*132
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru the 1st Eq by 10 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "10b + 10v = 10*132
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract that from the Value Eq and solve for \"v\":
\n" ); document.write( "2v = 132
\n" ); document.write( "v = 66 kg (amt. of Venezualen coffee needed for the mixture)
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Since b+v = 132, b = 132-66 = 66 kg (amt. of Brazilian coffee in the mix)
\n" ); document.write( "================================================
