Question

A coffee mixture has beans that sell for $0.72 a pound and beans that sell for $0.52. If 110 pounds of beans create a mixture worth $0.74 a pound, how much of each bean is used? Model the scenario then solve it. I'll mark you the brainliest if you answer this correctly and I will follow you.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

take number of 0.72 one as x

0.72x + 0.52(110-x) = 0.74*110

Answer 2

It is not possible because the most expensive variety of coffee is $0.72 per pound and you expect to create a mixture worth $0.74 which is greater than the latter. You must verify your question first, you will need 121 pounds of $0.72 coffee to make it equal to 110 pounds of $0.74 coffee

Please mark as brainliest.
