Question 1165373: A person's website specializes in the sale of rare or unusual vegetable seeds. He sells packets of sweet-pepper seeds for $2.16 each and packets of hot-pepper seeds for $4.40 each. He also offers a 16-packet mixed pepper assortment combining packets of both types of seeds at $3.14 per packet. How many packets of each type of seed are in the assortment? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! S=x
H=16-x
2.16*x+4.40(16-x)=16(3.14)=50.24
2.16x+70.4-4.4x=50.24
-2.24x=-20.16
x=9 packets of sweet pepper
16-x=7 packets of hot-pepper
