Question

Mai's Coffee Shop makes a blend that is a mixture of two types of coffee. Type A coffee costs Mai $4.10 per pound, and type B coffee costs $5.75 per pound. This month's blend used twice as many pounds of type B coffee as type A, for a total cost of $561.60 . How many pounds of type A coffee were used?

Answer 1

About 49 pounds

$5.75 x 2 = 11.50

561.60 / 11.50 = 48.83 (round)
49 lbs
