how much tea is required?

Question

The manager of a store that specializes in selling tea decides to experiment with a new blend. She will mix some Earl Grey tea that sells for $ 6 per pound with some Orange Pekoe tea that sells for $2 per pound to get 800

pounds of the new blend. The selling price of the new blend is to be $5.50

per​ pound, and there is to be no difference in revenue from selling the new blend versus selling the other types. How many pounds of the Earl Grey tea and Orange Pekoe tea are​ required?

Answer 1

The amount of Earl Grey tea and Orange Pekoe tea can be found using the fact that the sum of the amounts of both teas will be 800 pounds, combined with the expected price of the new tea.

I have recorded a video explaining the steps. I hope it helps!
