I need clarification on this problem. Coffee beans sell for $9.00 per pound and $12.00 per pound The two types are to be mixed to create 100 lbs that will sell for $11.25 per lb. How much of each type of beans should be used in the mixture?
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "$9 coffee DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "Let Amount of $9 coffee be \"x\"; Value of this is 9x dollars
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "$12 coffee DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "Amount of $12 coffee is \"100-x\"; Value of this is 12(100-x)=1200-12x dollars
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Mixture DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "Amount = 100 lbs ; Value is 11.25*100=$1125
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "value + value = value
\n" ); document.write( "9x + 1200-12x = 1125
\n" ); document.write( "-3x=-75
\n" ); document.write( "x=25 lbs. (amount of $9 coffee)
\n" ); document.write( "100-x=75 lbs. (amount of $12 coffee)
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Cheers,
