Question 1047465: Kelly is a partner in an Internet-based seed and garden supply business. The company offers a blend of exotic wildflower seeds for $85 per pound and a blend of common wildflower seeds for $45 per pound. Kelly is creating a medium-price product by mixing together 26 pounds of the more expensive blend with 5 pounds of the less expensive blend. What will be the price per pound for the new blend?

26 x 85=2210
5 x 45=225
2435/(26+5)=$78.55/lb. for the new mixture. ☺☺☺☺
