Question 826639: Coffee worth $3.75 a pound was mixed with coffee worth $4.35 a pound to produce a blend worth $4.11 a pound. How much of each kind of coffee was used to produce 40 pounds of blended coffee? Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! ---
x = pounds of 3.75 coffee
y = pounds of 4.35 coffee
---
3.75x + 4.35y = 4.11*40
x + y = 40
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form:
---
3.75x + 4.35y = 164.4
x + y = 40
