Sun gardens has sunflower seed in a barrel that sells for $0.49 per pound and bird seed mix that sells for $0.89 per pound. How much of each must be mixed to get a 20 pound mixture that sells for $0.73 per pound? Answer by josgarithmetic(39617) (Show Source):
A one-variable method can also be used, if you see that your x+y=20, and then y=20-x; so you can set up ONE equation in just the one variable, x, and solve for x.
