Question 900408: A coffee has two types of coffee beans. Blend A is sold for $2.35/pound and blend B is sold for $3.25/pound. How many pounds of blend A must be added to 10 pounds of blend B to create a mixture that the coffee can sell for $2.65/pound? Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2.35*x+3.25*10=2.65(10+x)
2.35*x+32.5=26.5+2.65x
2.35x-2.65x=26.5-32.5
-0.3x=-6
x=20
check
2.35*20+3.25*10=2.65(10+20)
47+32.5=2.65(30)
79.5=79.5
ok
