Whole Bean Coffee - $0.93
\n" ); document.write( "Amount in lbs = x
\n" ); document.write( "Total of Each - 0.93x
\n" ); document.write( "Half Bean Coffee - $1.20
\n" ); document.write( "Amount in lbs = 30-x
\n" ); document.write( "Total Cost of each = $1.20(30-x)
\n" ); document.write( "Mixture =$1.02
\n" ); document.write( "Amount in lbs = 30
\n" ); document.write( "Total Cost of each = $1.02(30)
\n" ); document.write( "$0.93x + 1.20(30-x) = $102.(30)
\n" ); document.write( "$0.93x + 36.00 - 1.20x = 30.60
\n" ); document.write( "-36.00 from both sides and Add the x
\n" ); document.write( "$0.27 x = 5.40
\n" ); document.write( "x=20
\n" ); document.write( "Check your answer
\n" ); document.write( "$0.93(20)=$18.60
\n" ); document.write( "$1.20(30-20) = $12.00
\n" ); document.write( "$18.60 + $12.00 = $36.00
\n" ); document.write( "1.02(30) = $36.00
\n" ); document.write( "Hope that helps you.\r
