Find the selling price per pound of a tea mixture made from 40lb of tea costing $5.40 per pound and 60lb of tea costing $3.25 per pound
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "$5.40 tea DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "Amount = 40 lbs. ; Value = 5.40*40 = 216 dollars
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "$3.25 tea DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "Amount = 60 lbs. ; Value = 3.25*60 = 195 dollars
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "Mixture DATA at x dollars per pound
\n" ); document.write( "Amount = 100 lbs ; value = 100x dollars
\n" ); document.write( "===================
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "value + value = value
\n" ); document.write( "216 + 195 = 100x
\n" ); document.write( "411 = 100x
\n" ); document.write( "x = $4.11 per pound
\n" ); document.write( "==========================
