Oranges are $1.30 a pound , apples are $.90 a pound and a mixture of them costs $1.10 a pound. If 15 lbs I of oranges are in the mix how many pounds of apples are needed?
\n" ); document.write( "let x=lbs of apples needed for the mixture
\n" ); document.write( "15+x=lbs of apples needed for the mixture
\n" ); document.write( "15+x=weight of mixture
\n" ); document.write( "1.30*15+.90x=1.10(15+x)
\n" ); document.write( "19.50+.90x=16.50+1.10x
\n" ); document.write( ".20x=3
\n" ); document.write( "x=15
\n" ); document.write( "lbs of apples needed for the mixture=15 \n" ); document.write( "
