its in columns.
item mixing / amount you have / cost or % / value (equation).

chef mixes 20 lbs of peas costing 1.99 per pound w/14lb of onions costing 1.19 per lb to make a veggie medley. Find the cost per pound of the mixture
--------------------
Peas value: 1.99*20 = 3980 cents
----------------------------
Onions value: 1.19*14 = 1666 cents
----------------------------
Cost per pound:
(3980+1666)/(20+14) = 166.06 cents per pound
or $1.66 per pound
