Question

A coffee shop is trying to get rid of the remaining amount on Tazmanian Java Coffee beans that they have that normally sell for $10 per pound. If they mix the 32 pounds that they have left with 80 pounds of cheaper coffee that sells for $5 per pound how much will the resulting mixture sell for?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The remaining amount of Tazmanian Java Coffee beans that they have left is 32 pounds.

Tazmanian Java Coffee beans normally sell for $10 per pound. This means that the total cost of 32 pounds of Tazmanian Java Coffee beans would be 32×10 = $320

It is mixed with 80 pounds of cheaper coffee that sells for $5 per pound. The total cost of the cheaper coffee used is 80×5 = $400

The resulting mixture will sell for 400 + 320 = $720
