<PRE><B>Question 441949</B>
a coffee company wants a new favor of Cajun coffee. How many pounds of coffee worth $10 a pound should be added to 30 pounds of coffee worth $4 a pound to get a mixture worth $5 a pound.
------
Value Equation: 10x + 4*30 =  5(x+30)
---
10x + 4*30 = 5x + 5*30
5x = 30
x = 6 lbs. (amt of $10 coffee needed)
