Question 604822
Tim and Judy mix two kinds of feed for pedigreed dogs. They wish to make 27lbs of feed by mixing one kind worth $0.31 per pound with another worth $0.77 per pound. How many pounds of the cheaper kind should they use.
----
Equation:
value + value = value
0.31x + 0.77(271-x) = ?*271
------------------
Note: You need to know the final price-per-pound of the mix.
Cheers,
Stan H.
