How many pounds of seed worth $0.60 a pound must be mixed with 300 pounds of seed worth $0.35 a pound to produce a mixture worth $0.50 per pound?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = amt of .60/lb seed
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".60x + .35(300) = .50(x + 300)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".60x + 105 = .50x + 150
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".60x - .50x = 150 - 105
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".1x = 45
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x = 45/.1
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x = 450 lb of .60/lb seed
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check solution:
\n" ); document.write( ".6(450) + .35(300) = .50(450 + 300)
\n" ); document.write( " 270 + 105 = .5(750)
\n" ); document.write( " 375 = 375 \n" ); document.write( "
