You can put this solution on YOUR website! A store mixes Kenyan Coffee worth $10 per Kilogram and Turkish coffee worth $14 per Kilogram. The mixture is to sell for $11 per kilogram. Find out how much of each should be used to make a 528-Kilogram Mixture
**
let x=amt of Kenyan coffee to be used
528-x=amt of Turkish coffee to be used
..
$10*x+$14(528-x)=$11*528
10x+7392-14x=5808
-4x=5808-7392=-1584
x=1584/4=396
528-x=132
amt of Kenyan coffee to be used=396 kg
amt of Turkish coffee to be used=132 kg

The mixture is to sell for $11 per kilogram.
Find out how much of each should be used to make a 528-Kilogram Mixture
:
Let x = amt of Turkish coffee required
we know the resulting amt is to be 528 kg, therefore:
(528-x) = amt of Kenyan Coffee required
:
A typical mixture equation
10(528-x) + 14x = 11(528)
5280 - 10x + 14x = 5808
- 10x + 14x = 5808 - 5280
4x = 528
x = 528/4
x = 132 kg of Turkish
then
528-132 = 396 kg of Kenyon
