How many pounds of Soybean meal should be used in the mixture?____ Answer by brucewill(101) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x = # of pounds of soybeans
Therefore, 360 - x = # of pounds of cornmeal
.18x + .09(360 - x) = .12(360)
.18x + 32.4 - .09x = 43.2
.09x = 10.8 pounds of soybeans
Therefore, 240 pounds of cornmeal.
