A coffee merchant has coffee beans that sell for $9 per pound and $12 per pound. The two types are to be mixed to create 100 lb of mixure that will sell for $11.25 per pound. How much of each type of bean should be used in the mixure?
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "Amount of $9 coffee is \"x\" lbs; Value of these is 9x dollars
\n" ); document.write( "Amount of $12 coffee is \"100-x\" lbs; Value of these is 12(100-x)=1200-12x dollars
\n" ); document.write( "Amount of mixed coffee is 100 lbs; Value of these is 11.25(100)=1125 dollars
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "vaue + 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( "Cheers,
