Question 1123287: The question is, 7kg of soybean oil which costs $4/kg were combined with 14 kg of canola oil which costs $1/kg. Find the cost per kg of the mixture. I found this problem with its answer on this website but it doesnt exclaim how they got their steps or why they did their steps. They did show their steps but it would be so much more helpful if you guys can explain to me why you did your moves. Thank you!!

You can put this solution on YOUR website! In words:
[ cost/kg ] = [ cost of soybean oil + cost of canola oil ] / [ total kg ]
Total kg = kg
Cost of soybean oil = dollars
Cost of canola oil = dollars
Cost/kg of mixture =
$2 / kg
