Jimmy is a partner in a internet based coffee supplier. The company offers gourmet coffee beans for $15 per pound and regular coffee beans $4 per pound. Jimmy is creating a medium price product that will sell for $6 per pound. The first thing to go into the mixing bin was 12 pounds of the gourmet beans. How many pounds of less expensive regular beans should be added?
