We have 4 lb of $3 coffee
\n" ); document.write( "We want to add some $2.20 coffee to make $ 2.52 coffee
\n" ); document.write( "0.022*x+0.03*4=0.0252(4+x)
\n" ); document.write( "0.022*x+0.12=0.1008+0.0252x
\n" ); document.write( "0.022x-0.0252x=0.1008-0.12
\n" ); document.write( "-0.0032x=-0.0192
\n" ); document.write( "x=6.0 lb at $2.20 (0.132) is added to 4 lb at $3(0.12) to make $2.52 of 10.0 lb(0.252)
\n" ); document.write( "check
