You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If you want to end up with 1 kg, and
the ratio is 7:3, then you want the
weights to be:
+.7+ kg of the k650/kg tea
+.3+ kg of the k720/kg tea
( since 7: 3 = .7/.3 )
---------------------------
+.7%2A650+%2B+.3%2A720+=+455+%2B+216+
+455+%2B+216+=+671+
--------------------
1 kg of blended tea costs k671
