Question 828404: a grocer sells one grade of ground beef at $3.95 per pound and another grade at $4.20 per pound. He wants to mix the two grades in order to obtain a mixture that sells for $4.15 per pound. What percentage of each grade should be used? Answer by josgarithmetic(39617) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Typical two-part mixture problem. You could choose any value for how much mixture you want. A convenient value could be 1 pound, but this is your arbitrary choice.
