Problema Solution
A store mixes Kenyan coffee worth $10 per kilogram and
Turkish coffee worth $13 per kilogram. The mixture is
to sell for $12 per kilogram. Find how much of each should
be used to make a 312-kilogram mixture.
Answer provided by our tutors
we assume
Kenyan coffee: x
Turkish coffee: (312-x)
So the equation is
x*$10 + (312-x)*$13 = $12*312
So
x=104
So
Kenyan coffee: 104 kg
Turkish coffee: 208 kg
