Question 1118963: Im having trouble with this word problem and need some assitance. Ritas coffee shop makes a blend that is a mixture of two types of coffee. Type A coffee costs rita $4.10 per pound, and type B coffe costs $5.15 per pound. this months blend used twice as many pounds of type B coffee as type A, for a total cost of $432.00. how many pounds of type A coffee were used? Answer by ikleyn(52781) (Show Source):
Let x be the value under the question: x = "how many pounds of type A coffee were used".
Then the amount of the type B coffee was 2x pounds, and the money equation is
4.10*x + 5.15*(2x) = 432 dollars.
Solve for x.
