The quantity of Type A coffee were used is 32 pounds .
Step-by-step explanation:
Given as :
The cost of type A coffee = $ 5.50 per pound
The cost of type b coffee = $ 4.25 per pound
The total cost of coffee = $ 448.00
The quantity of coffee of type B is twice than type A
Let The quantity of type A coffee = x pound
So, The quantity of type B coffee = 2 × x pound
Now, According to question
x × $ 5.50 + 2 x × $ 4.25 = $ 448
Or, x × $ 5.50 + x × $ 8.5 = $ 448
Or, 14 x = 448
∴ x =
I.e x = 32
∴ The quantity of type A coffee = 32 pound
And, The quantity of type B coffee = 2 × 32 = 64 pound
