The Roasted Bean charges $13.00 per pound for Fair Trade Organic Mexican coffee and $11.00 per pound for Fair Trade Organic Peruvian Coffee. How much of each type should be used to make a 28-lb blend that sells for $12.00 per pound?
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Quantity Eq: m + p = 28 pounds
\n" ); document.write( "Value Eq:: 13m+11p = 12*28 dollars
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply thru the Quantity Eq. by 13:
\n" ); document.write( "13m + 13p = 13*28
\n" ); document.write( "13m + 11p = 12*28
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Substact and solve for \"p\":
\n" ); document.write( "2p = 28
\n" ); document.write( "p = 14 lb (amt or Peruvian Coffee needed)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Sove for \"m\":
\n" ); document.write( "m + p = 28
\n" ); document.write( "m + 14 = 28
\n" ); document.write( "m = 14 lb (amt. of Mexican Coffee needed)
