You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let $x be the price of the mixture
Price ---------------- quantity
Brazilian coffee 20 ----------------15 pounds
Coumbian coffee 16 ----------------5 pounds
Total x ----------------20 pounds
15*20+5*16=20x
300 + 80 = 20 x
380 = 20 x
/ 20
380 / 20 = x
19 = x
the price of the mixture is $ 19
