Question:
To make a blend of two teas, a manufacturer mixed orange pekoe selling at $6.40/lb with sleepy time tea selling at $7.20/lb. If 400 lb of the blended tea was sold at 6.72/lb, how much of each type was used? Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):

Do it like this one. Only the numbers are different.
-----------
Amanda wants to make 8 gal. of a 20% saline solution by mixing together a 56% saline solution and a 8% saline solution. How much of each solution must she use?
================
e = amount of 8%
f = amount of 56%
---
e+ f = 8 (total solution)
8e + 56f = 20*8 (total saline)
---
e+ f = 8
e + 7f = 20
------------ Subtract
-6f = -12
f = 2
e = 6
