Question 124447
A card company mixes two varieties of cards. Embossed cards cost $.65 each, and regular cards $.40 each. How many cards of each type should be included in an assortment of 25 cards that costs $14?
--------------------
Let "x" be the # of embossed cards: value is 0.65x dollars
--------------------
# of regular cards is "25-x" ; value is 0.40(25-x)=10-0.40x dollars
---------------------
EQUATION:
value + value = 14 dollars
0.65x + 10-0.40x = 14
0.25x = 4
x = 16 (# of embossed cards in the mix)
25-x = 9 (# of regular cards in the mix)
