Question 1096976: Kelly is a partner in an Internet-based seed and garden supply business. The company offers a blend of exotic wildflower seeds for $95 per pound and a blend of common wildflower seeds for $15 per pound. Kelly is creating a medium priced product by mixing together 29 pounds of the expensive blend with 9 pounds of the less expensive blend. What will be the price per pound for the new blend? Round to the nearest cent if necessary.
I just can't figure out what the equations should be. If you can provide them for me I'll solve it myself, but I just don't know how to find them.
Thank you in advance.

Not all math problems need equations to solve.
This is a simple ARITHMETIC problem, where Cost, of new blend, per pound, or: 
In other words, there are no VARIABLES that need to be created, other than C, the cost, and all values were given for you to calculate this.
