Question 815572: 16 lbs of Brand M Cinnamon was made by combining 12 lbs of Indonesian cinnamon which costs $19/ lb with 4 lb of Thai cinnamon which costs $11/ lb. Find the cost per lb of the mixture. Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! i = weight of Indonesian cinnamon = 12 lbs
t = weight of Thai cinnamon = 4 lbs
---
19i + 11t = 16*C
C = cost per pound of mixture
---
19i + 11t = 16*C
C = (19i + 11t)/16
C = (19*12 + 11*4)/16
C = (228 + 44)/16
---
C = 17 dollars/lb
