Answer:

The amount of 65 cents per pound flour to use is 40 pounds and the amount of 95 cents per pound flour to use is 60 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> amount of 65 cents per pound flour to use

y----> amount of 95 cents per pound flour to use

we know that

x+y=100 ----> y=100-x ----> equation A

0.65x+0.95y=0.83(100) ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

0.65x+0.95(100-x)=0.83(100)

Solve for x

0.65x+95-0.95x=83

0.95-0.65x=95-83

0.30x=12

x=40\ lb

Find the value of y

y=100-40=60\ lb

therefore

The amount of 65 cents per pound flour to use is 40 pounds and the amount of 95 cents per pound flour to use is 60 pounds
