Question

Deshaun's Coffee Shop makes a blend that is a mixture of two types of coffee. Type A coffee costs Deshaun
$5.55
per pound, and type B coffee costs
$4.40
per pound. This month, Deshaun made
141
pounds of the blend, for a total cost of
$715.85
. How many pounds of type A coffee did he use?

Answer 1

Gibran,

 

Assume he used x pounds of type A

The total blend was 141 pounds so he used (141-x) pounds of B

 

Calculate total cost

 

5.55*x + 4.40*(141-x) = 715.85

1.15*x = 715.85 - 620.4

 

X = 83

 

He used 83 pounds of coffee A
