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
