Price is a concentration. Percent is also often used as a concentration. Look at another example demonstration using a single variable for one of the coffees.

video example same form as your exercise but just a different example. ONE variable used; two-part mixture.

All two-part mixture problems fitting this form can be handled this way (although you can also choose to use two variables instead of just one variable.)
