No poundage quantities of the coffees A and B nor the mixture is given. \r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%284.40u%2B5.95v%29%2F%28u%2Bv%29=p\", p is price for the mixture, but you also KNOW THE COST of the mixture...

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You also are given a ratio of type B to type A.
