Premium coffee sells for $6.00 per pound and regular coffee sells for $4.00 per pound. how many pounds of each type of coffee should be blended to obtain 100 pounds of a blend that sells for $4.64 per pound.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = lb of premium coffee
\n" ); document.write( "It says the total will be 100, therefore:
\n" ); document.write( "(100-x) lb of regular coffee:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "A simple equation:
\n" ); document.write( "6x + 4(100-x) = 4.64(100)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "6x + 400 - 4x = 464
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "6x - 4x = 464 - 400
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 64
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x = 64/2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x = 32 lb of premium coffee
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You can figure out how much regular coffee, I'm sure \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
