Jules works part time at the bulk barn. She mixed one nut type selling at $2.20/kg with another selling at $2.40/kg. If 100kg were mixed and sold for $2.28/kg, how much of each type of nut mixture was used?
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "2.20 nut DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "Let the amt. be \"x\" ; value is 2.20x dollars
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "2.40 nut DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "Let the amt. be \"100-x\" ; value is 2.4(100-x)= 240-2.4x dollars
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Mixture DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "Amt o 100 kg ;value = 2.28*100 = 228 dollars
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "value + value = 228 dollars
\n" ); document.write( "2.20x + 240-2.4x = 228
\n" ); document.write( "-0.2x = -12
\n" ); document.write( "x = 60 (amount of $2.20 nuts in the mixture)
\n" ); document.write( "100-x = 40 (amount of $2.40 nuts in the mixture
\n" ); document.write( "=======================
