the total number of pounds and the total cost, 18 pounds for $92.07.
\n" ); document.write( " the price per pound of each kind of coffee($4.89 for columbian and $5.43 for Mocha Java).
\n" ); document.write( " figure out how many pounds of each type of beans used.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let m = amt of Mocha coffee
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "(18-m) = amt of Columbian coffee
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "5.43m + 4.89(18-m) = 92.07
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "5.43m + 88.02 - 4.89m = 92.07
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "5.43m - 4.89m = 92.07 - 88.02
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".54m = 4.05
\n" ); document.write( "m = \"4.05%2F.54\"
\n" ); document.write( "m = 7.5 lb of Mocha
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "18 - 7.5 = 10.5 lb of Columbian
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check this
\n" ); document.write( "5.43(7.5) + 4.89(10.5)
\n" ); document.write( "40.725 + 51.345 = 92.07, confirms our solutions
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
