document.write( "A coffee supply store waits until the orders for its special coffee blend reach 100 pounds before making up a batch. Coffee selling for $7.40 a pound is blended with coffee selling for $3.65 a pound to make a product that sells for $5.15 a pound. How much of each type of coffee should be used to make the blend that will fill the orders?
