Tammy's Gourmet Coffee Shop mixes French vanilla coffee, which sells for $9.50 per pound, with hazelnut coffee, which sells for $7.00 per pound. The mix, called Croissant blend sells for $8.50 per pound. If Tammy wishes to make 20 pounds of the blend, how many pounds of each should she use?
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let amount of French coffee be \"x\" ; Value of this is 9.50x dollars
\n" ); document.write( "Amount of hazelnut coffee is \"20-x\"; Value of this is 7(20-x)=140-7x dollars
\n" ); document.write( "Amount of mix is 20 lbs. ; Value of this is 8.50(20)=170
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "value + value = value
\n" ); document.write( "9.5x + 140-7x = 170
\n" ); document.write( "2.5x=30
\n" ); document.write( "x=12 lbs. (amount of French coffee)
\n" ); document.write( "20-x=20-12= 8 lbs (amount of hazelnut coffee)
