Question 313958: Jimmy is a partner in an Internet-based coffee supplier.The company offers gourmet coffee beans for $13 per pound and regular coffee beans for $4 per pound. Jimmy is creating a product that will sell for $6 per pound.The first thing to go into the mixing bin was 18 pounds of the gourmet beans. How many pounds of the less expensive regular beans should be added? Answer by checkley77(12844) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 18*13+4X=6(18+X)
234+4X=108+6X
4X-6X=108-234
-2X=-126
X=-126/-2
X=63 POUNDS OF $4 COFFEE IS USED.
PROOF:
18*13+4*63=6(18+63)
234+252=6*81
486=486
