Question 1028349: A coffe shop has one type of coffee that sells for $6 per pound and another that sells for $11 perpound. They wish to mix 50 pounds of the $11 coffee to get a mixture that will sell for 47 per pound. How many pounds of the $6 coffee should be used? Answer by josgarithmetic(39618) (Show Source):
