Answer:

a) 80 ibs

b) 40 ibs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the pound of the high quality bean at $6.50

(120-x) will be the pound of the cheaper bean at $2.50

6.5x + 2.5(120 - x) = 5.17(120)

6.5x + 300 - 2.5x = 620.4

Collect like terms

6.5x - 2.5x = 620.4 - 300

4x = 320.4

x = 320.4/4

x= 80.1

x = 80 ibs(to the nearest pounds)

For the cheaper bean we have 120 -x

= 120 - 80

= 40 ibs

Sarah would blend 80 ibs of quality bean and 40 ibs of cheaper bean
