Price ---------------- quantity
\n" ); document.write( "Kenya coffee 8.40% ---------------- x pounds
\n" ); document.write( "Gazebo coffee 9.30% ------ 50 - x pounds
\n" ); document.write( "Mixture 8.98% ---------------- 50
\n" ); document.write( "Total 50 pounds
\n" ); document.write( "8.40% x + 9.30% ( 50 - x ) = 8.98% * 50
\n" ); document.write( "8.4 x + 9.3 ( 50 - x ) = 449
\n" ); document.write( "8.4 x + 465 - 9.3 x = 449
\n" ); document.write( "8.4 x - 9.3 x = 449 - -465
\n" ); document.write( "-0.9 x = -16
\n" ); document.write( "/ -0.9
\n" ); document.write( " x = 17.78 pounds 8.40% Kenya coffee
