TNX!:D Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! ------- Price ---------------- quantity
Tea type I 17 ---------------- 200 lb
Tea type II 15 ---------------- x lb
Total 15.8 ---------------- 200 + x lb
17*200+15*x=15.8(200+x)
3400+15x=3160+15.8x
15x-15.8x=3160-3400
-0.8 x = -240 / -0.8
