jonathan wish to mix coffee worth P200 per kilo with coffee worth P400 to get 10 kilos of a mixture worth P250 per kilo how many kilos of P200 and P400 coffees will be needed
Answer provided by our tutors
From the given information, we can write the following:
x(200)+(10-x)(400)=10(250)
where 'x' represents the number of kilos of the P200 coffee needed and '10-x' represents the number of kilos of the P400 coffee needed to make 10kilos of P200.
Using Algebrator to solve for 'x', we get:
x=7.5 kilos
Likewise,
10-x=10-7.5=2.5 kilos
Therefore, 7.5 kilos of the P200 coffee and 2.5 kilos of the P400 coffee are needed.
