You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1. An owner of a gourmet food store has two varities of herbal tea, one that cost costs $4.00 per kilogram and another that cost $5.00 per kilogram. how many kilograms of each type are needed to make 20 kg of a blend worth $4.60 per kilogram?
:
Let x = amt of $5 coffee.
:
The total amt is 20 kg, therefore
(20-x) = amt of 4$ coffee
:
5x + 4(20-x) = 4.6(20)
:
5x + 80 = - 4x = 92
:
5x - 4x = 92 - 80
:
x = 12 kg of $5 coffee
:
20 - 12 = 8 kg of $4 coffee
:
:
Check:
5(12) + 4(8) = 4.6(20)
60 + 32 = 92, confirms our solutions
