Question 21000: A dealer has tea worth $1.20 a pound and tea worth $1.90 a pound. How many pounds of each kind must he use to make 70 pounds that can be sold for 1.25 per pound? Answer by Paul(988) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 120x+190(70-x)=125(70)
120x+13300-190x=8750
-70x=8750-13300
-70x=-4550
x=65
Hence he will need to make 65 pounds for one and 5 for the other.
